Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to an impact damper assembly for damping oscillations of an associated tower structure, the impact damper assembly comprising one or more impact dampers each comprising a suspension arrangement adapted to be suspended between at least two vertically distanced suspension positions of the tower structure, an impact mass secured to the suspension arrangement, the impact mass being adapted to collide with the tower structure in response to movements thereof, and a tensioner adapted to apply a defined tension to the suspension arrangement in order to adjust the damping characteristics of the impact damper. The present invention further relates to a wind turbine tower having an impact damper assembly attached thereto and a method for damping tower structure oscillations using an impact damper assembly.
