Abstract
A fixation device for providing at least one fixation location at a wind turbine, the wind turbine including a wind turbine tower, a nacelle and a hub for a number of rotor blades. The fixation device includes at least one fixation arm configured for being arranged at the nacelle and/or the wind turbine tower, the at least one fixation arm being extendable. The at least one fixation arm in an inactive state, when arranged at the nacelle, is not extending essentially forward of the nacelle.
Claims19
A fixation device for providing at least one fixation location at a wind turbine, said wind turbine comprising at least a wind turbine tower, a nacelle and a hub for a number of rotor blades, wherein
- said fixation device comprises at least one fixation arm configured for being arranged at said nacelle
- wherein said at least one fixation arm in an active state, where the at least one fixation arm is at least partly extended, extends at least to a position forward of the nacelle and at a level substantially at or below a rotation axis for the rotor blades of the wind turbine;
- wherein said at least one fixation arm is configured for being mounted at, on or in the nacelle;
- wherein said at least one fixation arm being extendable;
- and
- wherein said at least one fixation arm in an inactive state is not extending essentially forward of the nacelle, and said at least one fixation arm is mounted to a bottom part of the nacelle.
