Abstract: Disclosed herein are an aqueous dispersion including cationic polyvinyl alcohol modified polymer particles, an aqueous electrocoating material containing the dispersion and a process to produce an at least partially coated substrate using the aqueous electrocoating material. The aqueous dispersion can be prepared by reacting an intermediate including at least one polyvinyl alcohol polymer chain with a compound including at least one epoxide group and a least two blocked primary amino groups. Aqueous coating compositions including the aqueous dispersion result in improved leveling properties during film formation as well as an improved edge protection of the substrate without negatively influencing the surface roughness and adhesion as well as the deposition properties.

Abstract: A mounting adapter for mounting rotor blades of a wind turbine is provided. The mounting adapter has a first flange unit with a first flange surface, which is suitable for being fastened to a rotor blade connection of a wind turbine. The mounting adapter has a second flange unit with a second flange surface, which is suitable for having a rotor blade of the wind turbine fastened to it. The first and second flange units can be swiveled around a swivel axis relative to each other. An angle spanned by the first and second flange surfaces can be varied, so as to ensure at least a first and second operating position of the mounting adapter with different angles.

Abstract: A method for mounting rotor blades of a wind turbine is provided. The wind turbine has a rotor hub with three rotor blade ports. A rotor blade is to be mounted to each of the three rotor blade ports. A mounting arm is fastened to a first rotor blade port. The mounting arm has a first section and a second section, which are coupled with each other via a hinge, so that the angle between the first and second sections can be varied. The hub is turned until the first rotor blade port is in a 90° position. A first end of the first section of the mounting arm is fastened to the first rotor blade port of the rotor hub. The rotor hub is turned with the help of the mounting arm, until the second rotor blade port is in a 270° position. The angle between the first and second sections of the mounting arm is varied while turning the rotor hub. A first rotor blade is lifted, so that the first rotor blade is horizontally mounted to the second rotor blade port of the rotor hub.

Abstract: There is provided a transport vehicle for transporting wind power installation rotor blades and/or pylon segments. The transport vehicle has a transport support structure having a main frame, a receiving frame fixedly connected to the main frame at a first angle, and a rotary displacement unit which is fixed with one end to the receiving frame and which at its second end has a blade adaptor for receiving a rotor blade or a pylon segment. The main frame spans a main plane. The rotary displacement unit has at least one first rotary mounting, wherein there is provided a second angle between the second rotary plane of the second rotary mounting.
