The disclosure provides a method and system for installing an offshore wind turbine assembly independent of cranes and derricks. The system includes a support structure with a centrally disposed receptacle for the wind turbine assembly, a wind turbine assembly having a tower, turbine, and blades, and a transportation structure, such as a barge, to transport the wind turbine assembly to the support structure. The barge offloads the wind turbine assembly by placing the tower into a receptacle on the support structure. The receptacle is disposed below an elevation of the barge. The remainder of the wind turbine assembly is pivoted about the receptacle using the barge or winch cables into an upright position and secured to the support structure. The invention eliminates the need for offshore crane services for the installation of the wind turbine assembly tower, turbine or blades, and works with either fixed or floating support structures. |
