Abstract
A method of mounting components of a wind turbine which has a plurality of components. At least one of the components is mounted by means of a crane. Position and/or distance information in respect of the component to be mounted is detected by means of a laser scanning unit. The CAD data of the components to be mounted is compared to the detected position and/or distance information for exactly determining position and/or distance of the component to be mounted. The detected position and/or distance information is output to a crane operator. The crane can be controlled based on the detected position and/or distance information of the component to be mounted.
Claims8
A method comprising:
- mounting a plurality of components of a wind turbine, the mounting comprising:
- lifting at least one component of the plurality of components using a crane;
- detecting at least one of:
- position information, distance information, and an orientation of the at least one component to be mounted using a laser scanning unit;
- comparing CAD data for the at least one component to be mounted to at least one of:
- the detected position information, the detected distance information, and the detected orientation for determining more precise position information and distance information of the at least one component to be mounted;
- outputting at least one of:
- the more precise position information and the more precise distance information to a crane operator;
- and
- controlling the crane based on at least one of:
- the more precise position information, distance information, and the orientation of the at least one component to be mounted.
(canceled)
A method of using a kinematic terrestrial laser scanner for detecting at least one of:
- position information, distance information, and orientations of components to be mounted on a wind turbine, wherein the method comprises:
- lifting the components using a crane in a mounting operation;
- detecting at least one of:
- position information, distance information, orientation of the components to be mounted;
- comparing at least one of:
- the detected position information, the detected distance information, and the orientation of the components to be mounted to CAD data of the component to be mounted;
- and
- communicating at least one of:
- the compared position information, the compared distance information, and the compared orientation of the components to be mounted to a crane operator of a crane.
