A damping device configured to be mountable on an upper opening of a tower and configured to provide vibration damping during vertical storage and/or vertical transport of the tower is provided. The damping device includes a liquid damper comprising a single liquid tank, a mounting interface configured to mount the liquid damper on the upper opening of the tower. The mounting interface includes one or more load transfer elements configured to transfer vibrations between the tower and the liquid damper. The liquid damper is configured to provide the vibration damping at predetermined frequencies tunable by one or more damping parameters of the liquid damper. The one or more damping parameters are configured such that the liquid damper damps vibrations at least at a first frequency and at a second frequency, the second frequency being different from the first frequency.
A damping device configured to be mountable on an upper opening of a tower and configured to provide vibration damping during vertical storage and/or vertical transport of the tower, wherein the damping device comprises:
A method of providing a damping device configured to be mountable on an upper opening of a tower and configured to provide vibration damping during vertical storage and/or vertical transport of the tower, wherein the damping device comprises a liquid damper comprising a single liquid tank, wherein the method comprises
A method of displacing a tower with a lifting device, wherein a damping device is mounted on an upper opening of the tower, and wherein the method comprises at least one of:
