  • Method for installation of a power control module in a wind power unit tower and an aggregate component
    Patent number: 10107267
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for installation of a power control module in a tower for a wind turbine. The method includes, providing a power control module (101) and providing a tower section (201). According to the invention the following steps are included in the mentioned sequence. a) providing a temporary support device (301), b) placing the power control module (101) on the temporary support device (301), c) placing the tower section (201) around the power control module (101), d) connecting the power control module (101) to the tower section (201), and e) removing the connected power control module (101) and tower section (201) from the temporary support device (301). The invention also relates to an aggregate component for a wind turbine. The component includes a power control module (101) and a tower section (201). The power control module (101) is connected to and supported by the tower section (201) in a state as a pre-fabricated and mobile component.
