Claim 0:
1. A vortex-induced vibration (VIV) suppression system comprising:
a vortex-induced vibration (VIV) suppression device dimensioned to be coupled to a tower of a wind turbine and operable to rotate about the tower of the wind turbine to suppress a vortex-induced vibration; and
a stop fixedly coupled to the vortex-induced vibration suppression device, the stop includes a first portion that protrudes from an external surface of the vortex-induced vibration suppression device and extends radially outward from a longitudinal axis of the vortex-induced vibration suppression device and a second portion that is at an angle to the first portion, and the stop is configured to align the vortex-induced vibration suppression device with a nacelle of the wind turbine and allow for rotation of the vortex-induced vibration suppression device relative to the nacelle within a predetermined angle.
