  • Patent number: 9228562
    Abstract: A convertible nacelle cover with an integrated platform for avoiding the use of auxiliary devices when performing maintenance operations on the components of a wind turbine nacelle, in cases in which the nacelle is not large enough to allow workers to stand on it. The cover has at least two movable parts, which can be opened for maintenance operations, in such a manner that one of them becomes a working platform. Therefore, the nacelle cover is, per se, the place where the operator stands to perform the maintenance operations. It is especially designed to be used in small and medium size wind turbines.

  • Patent number: 8713859
    Abstract: An advanced system for the installation of wire-climbing lifting devices on hollow towers is presented. This system allows two positions easily alternated by the operator of the installation: a resting position, in which the wires (5) are hidden inside the tower (1) and a maintaining position in which wires (5) are safely set up outside the tower (1) to allow a lifting device climbing on them. At the resting position the wire terminals are at ground level so the operators are able to inspect the conditions of them before their use and the safety of the system is improved.
