Zusammenfassung:A tower for supporting a nacelle to form a wind turbine is provided. The tower comprises: a plurality of tower sections connected together to form the tower, wherein at least one tower section is a deformation tower section configured such that it is predisposed, relative to the remaining plurality of tower sections, to deform if the nacelle should be dropped onto the tower while being mounted thereon, such that energy transferred to the tower resulting from the impact of the nacelle on the tower can be absorbed by the deformation tower section in a predictable and controlled manner.
