Structures and methods for elevating and retracting offshore wind turbine assemblies. Structures and methods are presented for elevating and retracting offshore wind turbine assemblies mounted on a tower in order to facilitate both service of the assemblies at any time, as well as preservation of the assemblies through storms or other high-wind weather events. Among the structures presented are folding wind turbine blades that may be folded into compact clusters and secured to braces in order to minimize damage during storms or other high-wind events. |
