Abstract
A wind turbine generator is provided with a tower, a nacelle mounted on the tower, a cable suspended downward from the nacelle through the tower, a length-variable mechanism having one end coupled to a specific position of the wind turbine generator, and a cable grip coupled to the other end of the length-variable mechanism. The distance between the specific position and the cable grip is adjustable by the length-variable mechanism. The cable grip includes a deformable tubular net and the cable is routed through the net.
