1. A method, comprising:
transporting a tower section of a wind turbine, the transporting comprising:
A) providing the tower section adapted to be transported in a predetermined transport position, wherein the tower section when in the transport position has a longitudinal axis extending in a horizontal direction and a wall extending along the longitudinal axis,
wherein the tower section has a first vertical height when in an unstressed state in the transport position,
B) using a tensioning system attached to the wall of the tower section to apply deformation forces to place the tower section in an elastically deformed state such that the tower section has a second vertical height that is smaller than the first vertical height, wherein the tensioning system includes at least one component from a list comprising a tensioning strap and tensioning cable, wherein the tensioning system is coupled to a plurality of load inducing elements of the tower section, and
C) locking the tower section in the elastically deformed state.
