Claim:
1. A method of vertically assembling a generator of a wind turbine using an assembly arrangement including a horizontal assembly support, the method comprising: arranging a rotor part onto the horizontal assembly support which supports components of the generator such that a rotational axis of a component of the generator when operating to generate electricity is essentially vertical during assembly of a stator part to the rotor part, and the horizontal assembly support is configured to allow a human body to extend into an interior of a component of the generator during assembly of the stator part to the rotor part; assembling the stator part to the rotor part including: mounting a stabilizing ring to the rotor part prior to loading a plurality of magnets into the rotor part, wherein the plurality of magnets are mounted to the rotor part after the arranging the stator part in the rotor part.
