Blade Installation Guide

For a FOWT (Floating Offshore Wind Turbine)  It’s so hard to install a blade offshore because of the  motion of  the FOWT and the crane vessel.

 

An installation Guide is needed.

CONVENTIONAL

It's hard to insert bolts on Blade into the bolt holes of the Bearing because the clearance between a bolt and a bolt hole is so small ( ex. few mm). 


Blade Installation Guide

OUR PROPOSAL:

The diameter at the entrance side of the bolt hole is much larger than the bolt diameter and tapers toward the exit side.
