Method and apparatus for handling wind turbine components during transport and assembly |
摘要 |
A method for handling wind turbine sub-assemblies includes coupling a connecting device to a connector of a hoisting device at a first connection interface of the connecting device; coupling a first wind turbine sub-assembly to the connecting device at a second connection interface of the connecting device; moving the first wind turbine sub-assembly with the hoisting device; coupling a second wind turbine sub-assembly different than the first wind turbine sub-assembly to the connection device at a third connection interface of the connecting device; and moving the second wind turbine sub-assembly with the hoisting device. An apparatus for handling wind turbine sub-assemblies is also disclosed. |

1. A method for handling wind turbine sub-assemblies, comprising:
coupling a connecting device to a connector of a hoisting device at a first connection interface of the connecting device; coupling a first wind turbine sub-assembly to the connecting device at a second connection interface of the connecting device; moving the first wind turbine sub-assembly with the hoisting device; coupling a second wind turbine sub-assembly different than the first wind turbine sub-assembly to the connection device at a third connection interface of the connecting device; and moving the second wind turbine sub-assembly with the hoisting device, wherein the first wind turbine sub-assembly includes a nacelle, wherein the connecting device includes trunnions at spaced-apart locations thereon, and wherein the step of coupling the first wind turbine sub-assembly to the connecting device at the second connection interface further comprises: extending cables from the trunnions of the connecting device to connectors on the nacelle; and limiting movement of the cables along the trunnions. |
