Abstract:
The invention relates to a tower section and to a method for raising said section with a complete new or existing wind turbine on the upper part thereof, the assembly being raised to heights greater than 120 meters by means of a raising system that operates at ground level and gradually inserts modular frame structures through the lower part. The modules have heights between 10 and 14 meters and are formed by a trellis of at least three vertical columns and with diagonal elements which react to the twisting moments and shear forces generated by the action of the wind. A transition part with a base sufficient for raising in wind conditions greater than 15 meters/second is disposed on top of the modules. The raising method has several steps, for example: producing and installing a foundation; assembling the transition part on a connection element of a footing; mounting the wind turbine complete with the tubular tower, nacelle and rotor thereof; installing a lifting system and joining structures on a connection element of the footing; lifting a module N; assembling the different modules; and lastly assembling the final module and removing the automatic raising system.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for assembling a wind turbine comprising;\n a nacelle, a rotor having blades and an upper tower section on which the nacelle and rotor are supported, the upper tower section having a base with a first width and a top on which the nacelle and rotor are supported, the top having a second width less than the first width; at least first, second and third spaced-apart tower foundations configured to support the wind turbine after the assembling, each of the first, second and third tower foundations having a center connection, the connection being located in the center; a plurality of modular frame structures that are configured to be vertically joined together in a sequential manner to form a lower tower section, each the plurality of modular frame structures including at least first, second and third vertical columns, each of the vertical columns comprising an upper end comprising a first flange and a lower end comprising a second flange, the plurality of modular frame structures configured to be attached to one another by a coupling together of the first and second flanges, the second flanges being configured to be attached to the connection of the tower foundations, the plurality of modular frame structures comprising an upper-most frame structure after the assembling; a transition piece configured to couple the upper tower section to the lower tower section, the transitional piece including an upper part that is configured to be coupled to the base of the upper tower and a lower part comprising a plurality of flanges that are configured to be coupled to the first flanges of the upper-most modular frame structure and also to the connections of the tower foundations, the upper part of the transition piece having a first width and the lower part of the transition piece having a second width greater than the first width; and a lifting system including at least first, second and third lifting subassemblies that are respectively supported on the ground, the first, second and third lifting subassemblies having disposed between them first, second and third joint structures that each moves vertically upward and downward between upper and lower points, the first, second and third joint structures configured to be respectively attached to the first, second and third columns of the first, second and third frame structures.
