Method and arrangement to install a wind-turbine
View Patent ↗At least one blade of the wind-turbine is attached firm but detachable with the tower by a fixture. The tower and the attached blade are transported to a planned site. The tower and the attached blade are brought together into an upright position in a single lift-action. A hub and a nacelle of the wind-turbine are mounted on the top of the tower. A wire of a winch, which is located inside the nacelle or the hub, is connected with a root of the blade. The blade is detached from the tower by unlocking the fixture. The blade is lift up to the hub for its attachment there.
1. A method to install a wind-turbine, comprising:
transporting a blade of the wind-turbine to an installation site, the transported blade is firmly but detachably locked to a tower by a fixture before the transporting;
lifting the tower together with the attached blade into an upright position in a single lift-action;
mounting a hub and a nacelle of the wind-turbine on a top of the tower;
connecting a wire of a winch, which is located inside the nacelle or the hub, with a root of the blade;
detaching the blade from the tower after connecting the wire, the detaching by unlocking the fixture;
lifting the detached blade up to the hub via the winch; and
attaching the lifted blade to the hub.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fixture is remote controlled in order to lock or unlock the blade.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the fixture is electro-magnetically or mechanically controlled.
4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the fixture uses an electrical motor or a hydraulic motor or a pneumatic motor to lock or unlock the blade.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the fixture is a single common fixture which attaches a plurality of blades to the tower.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein
a plurality of blades are attached to the tower via a plurality of fixtures.
7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
transporting the hub of the wind-turbine, which is mounted at the nacelle of the wind-turbine before the transportation, to the installation site, wherein
the mounting the hub and the nacelle on top of the tower is in a single lift-action.
8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
removing the fixture from the tower with the aid of the wire of the winch.
9. An arrangement of a wind-turbine, comprising:
a wind-turbine blade including a blade root;
a wind-turbine tower of the wind-turbine;
a fixture configured to detachably lock the wind-turbine blade to the wind-turbine tower to allow joint transportation to an installation site where the wind-turbine blade and the wind-turbine tower are jointly brought into an upright position by a single lift-action;
a winch comprising a wire is included in a nacelle or a hub, the wire is configured to lift the wind-turbine blade up to the hub, the wire is configured to connect to the blade root to allow the winch to raise the wind-turbine blade up to the hub.
10. The arrangement according claim 9 , wherein the hub and the nacelle are pre-mounted before transportation to the installation site.
11. The arrangement according to claim 9 , wherein the fixture is a remote controlled in order to lock or unlock the blade.
12. The arrangement according to claim 11 , wherein the fixture is an electro-magnetically or mechanically controlled fixture.
13. The arrangement according to claim 11 , wherein the fixture comprises an electrical motor or a hydraulic motor or a pneumatic motor to lock or unlock the blade.
14. The arrangement according claim 10 , wherein the pre-mounted hub and nacelle are mounted on top of the tower in a single lift-action.
