Abstract: A wind turbine comprising a tower structure configured to hold a nacelle with a rotor and a parking structure for holding the rotor. To improve the ability to carry out maintenance and to allow easier assembly and disassembly of the wind turbine, the parking structure is configured to connect the rotor directly to the tower structure to thereby allow removal of the nacelle while the rotor remains fixed to the tower structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for lifting a component (1a, 1b) of a multirotor wind turbine (100) from an initial position to an operating position. The initial position is near a base (2a) of a tower structure (2) of the wind turbine (100) while the operating position is arranged at a distance from the tower structure (2), on a load carrying structure (3) connected to the tower structure (2) and extending away from the tower structure (2). By operating a first hoisting mechanism provided at or near a connecting point between the tower structure (2) and a load carrying structure (3), and a second hoisting mechanism provided at or near the operating position, the component (1a, 1b) is moved from the initial position to the operating position along a predetermined path. The component (1a, 1b) is finally mounted on the load carrying structure (3) at the operating position.

Abstract: A coating applicator tool head configured for use with a robotic maintenance device includes a tool head body with a frame, a supply container, a drive for actuating delivery of flow of coating from the supply container, a feed tube, a nozzle receiving flow from the feed tube, and a spreading tool such as a roller brush or a spatula receiving flow from the nozzle. The coating applicator tool head is moved by an articulated arm of the maintenance device over surface of a wind turbine blade containing damage such that the roller brush or spatula can apply layers of the coating to cover and fill in the damage. The nozzle directly supplies coating continuously onto the roller brush or the spatula, and the drive can be configured to independently adjust supply of two or more different components in the supply container that may be mixed to form the coating.

Abstract: A payload coupler with a position control device for controlling a position of the payload coupler when suspended from a lower end of a line for attachment at an upper end thereof to a lifting device. The payload coupler includes a payload attachment means and at least two propulsors. The payload attachment means couples to and/or decouples from a payload and is arranged to directly couple the payload coupler to a payload. The propulsors are configured to generate resultant propulsion forces which are non-parallel and having at least a component perpendicular to the axis of the line when the line is hanging taut under gravity.

Abstract: An applicator tool (42) is provided for use with a robotic maintenance device (40) for 5 repairing damage (26) around a leading edge (22) of a wind turbine blade (20) on a wind turbine (10). The applicator tool (42) includes a tool frame (70) and a spatula (76) defining a flexible extrusion plate (78) that is configured to be engaged with an exterior surface (34) of the wind turbine blade (20), and a nozzle (84) that delivers a coating material (30) into a gap (112) between the extrusion plate (78) and the blade 0 (20). At least two nozzles (84) and corresponding fluid supplies may be provided to extend a working capacity of the applicator tool (42). The applicator tool (42) also includes a first chamfer arm (80) and a second chamfer arm (82) each configured to engage an outer surface (100) of the extrusion plate (78) adjacent a front edge (94) thereof to press the extrusion plate (78) against the exterior surface (34) of the blade 5 (20) at two specific engagement locations. The spatula (76) is configured to shape the coating material (30) into a shaped coating as the coating material (30) spreads in the gap (112) to thereby fill in and cover the damage (26) on the wind turbine blade (20), and the first and second chamfer arms (80, 82) are configured to limit spread of the coating material (30) beyond the two specific engagement locations 0 such that the shaped coating applied to the wind turbine blade (20) extends only between a first chamfer line (36) and a second chamfer line (38) on opposite sides of the leading edge (22). The applicator tool (42) also includes a vision system (160) configured to image the blade (20) to detect whether the first and second chamfer lines (36, 38) are located at expected positions to determine if any overfill or underfill 5 condition needs corrected. as well as a repair verification scanner (180) that detects a coating layer thickness of the shaped coating to further confirm whether a repair is performed as expected.
