System and process for transporting wind turbines

摘要

A system is used to transport wind turbines on railroad cars. The wind turbines are partially disassembled into four types of components-nacelles, blades, rotor hubs and tower sections. The blades are stored in cargo containers suitable for use in multi-mode transportation of freight by ship, rail and truck. The nacelles and rotor hubs are not stored in containers but are affixed to transport structures. Brackets are affixed to the tower sections. Then the components are mounted on railroad cars.
