  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ATTACHING A WIND TURBINE BLADE COMPONENT TO A WIND TURBINE BLADE SHELL PART
    Publication number: 20230258156
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for attaching a wind turbine blade component to a surface of a wind turbine blade shell part at a component attachment position. The system comprises a blade shell part support for supporting the blade shell part, a jig comprising a jig base and a component platform for receiving and holding the wind turbine blade component in a first position above at least a part of the blade shell part, the component platform being arranged on the jig base and being at least vertically displaceable relative to the jig base by displacement means to allow the wind turbine blade component to be lowered from the first position to the component attachment position.
