SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING TOWER SECTIONS OF A WIND TURBINE LATTICE TOWER STRUCTURE

摘要

A system 100 for assembling a tower section 80 of a lattice tower structure 50 for a wind turbine 10 may generally include a tower assembly fixture 102 having a plurality of radially extending fixture arms 104, wherein each fixture arm 104 extends between a first end 108 and a second end 110. In addition, the system 100 may include a plurality of trolleys 120. Each trolley 120 may include a base frame 130 configured to be coupled to one of the fixture arms 104 between its first 108 and second ends 110 and a leg mount 132 pivotally coupled to the base frame 130. The leg mount 132 may be configured to be coupled to a bottom end 96 of a support leg 54 of the tower section 80 such that, when each of the support legs 54 is coupled to its respective leg mount 132, the support legs 54 are supported above the tower assembly fixture 102 at a substantially vertical orientation.
