摘要:
The application relates to an alignment tool (200) for the alignment of a pair of vertical flanges for the connection of the longitudinal edges of adjacent segments of a cylindrical section of a wind turbine tower, and to a system and method utilising one or more such alignment tools (200). The alignment tool comprises mounting means (202) for connecting the alignment tool to a portion of a vertical flange of a tower segment; and a longitudinal alignment head (204) for aligning the vertical flange with an op posing vertical flange of an adjacent tower segment. The alignment head (204) comprises a front portion (218) extending in a forwards direction from the mounting means (202), the front portion (218) comprising a lower guiding surface (222) adapted to abut with a top guiding edge of the opposing vertical flange or a bracket or tool mounted thereon and to guide the alignment head (204) over the top edge of the opposing flange, bracket or tool as the vertical flanges are brought towards each other during connection of the adjacent tower segments.
摘要:
A wind turbine tower (10) with a guide system for guiding an internal installation unit (20) displaced relative to the inside of said tower (10) to a final mounting position inside said tower (10), said tower (10) having a first end (3) and an opposite second end (5), said first end (3) defining an entry opening for receiving said unit (20), said guide system comprising at least two parallel stays (32) for said guiding being mounted to the inside of the wall (8) of said tower (10) and extending from said first end (3) towards said second end (5), and engagement elements (35) mounted externally on said unit (20), said engagement elements (35) being configured for receiving a respective one of said stays (32).

摘要:
Tooling and a method of using the tooling for aligning flanges of a wind turbine tower segment of a tower section to correct deformities that might otherwise prevent fasteners from passing through apertures of adjacent flanges to gather the segments into tower sections.
