Abstract: Footing used for the foundation of a wind turbine tower characterized because it provides a stable horizontal platform (1) located at the surface, upon which the tower sections and the heavy elements that are subsequently mounted, viz., gearbox, generator, hub and blades, can be set without sinking. The footing is characterized by its inverted truncated cone shape, and by the savings in material estimated at 20%, as well as for its union with the tower (4) through a pedestal (3) and its corresponding embedded tensioning elements in the footing.

Abstract: Assembly of components inside a large wind turbine, positioned between the upper section (3) of the tower (1) and under the nacelle. The components, which are transported pre-assembled to the site, are horizontal, circular platforms (6a and 6b), a vertical ladder (5) that goes through both platforms (6a and 6b) and a central structure (7) that joins and integrates the entire unit. The middle connection part (8) fitted onto the nacelle frame (4) allows the aforementioned unit to be coupled to the nacelle. The platforms (6a and 6b) house electrical devices for the drive train and the yaw system, as well as the lubrication and refrigeration system for the drive train. Once all the components have been assembled, they turn together with the nacelle while it rotates to face the wind.
