METHOD OF DISMOUNTING OR MOUNTING A ROTOR BLADE OF A WIND TURBINE

A method of dismounting or mounting a rotor blade of a wind turbine involves: supporting a rotor blade of a wind turbine with a ground-based lift system at a tip-side position on the rotor blade in relation to a center of gravity of the rotor blade, and supporting the rotor blade with a nacelle-moun...

Zusammenfassung:A method of dismounting or mounting a rotor blade of a wind turbine involves: supporting a rotor blade of a wind turbine with a ground-based lift system at a tip-side position on the rotor blade in relation to a center of gravity of the rotor blade, and supporting the rotor blade with a nacelle-mounted lift system at a hub-side position on the rotor blade in relation to the center of gravity of the rotor blade, so that the rotor blade is supported by the ground-based lift system and the nacelle-mounted lift system in a substantially non-vertical orientation with respect to the ground; and, then separating the rotor blade from or connecting the rotor blade to a rotor hub of the wind turbine.
