    Abstract: A wind turbine (10) supported by a plurality of cables (20). The wind turbine (10) includes a tower (12) fixed at one end to a foundation (16) and including at least two tower sections (12a, 12b, 12c), including an upper section and a lower section. Each of the upper and lower sections includes an inwardly directed flange (82, 90) having a plurality of through-bores (84, 92). The inwardly directed flange (90) of the lower section further includes a plurality of second bores (104) spaced apart from the plurality of through-bores (92). An interface module (18, 120) is secured between the upper and lower section and includes a ring (62) from which one or more cars (50, 204) extend outwardly, each ear (50, 204) being configured to be coupled to one of the plurality of cables (20). The ring (62) includes a plurality of through-bores (72) that align with the through-bores (84, 92) in the inwardly directed flanges (82, 90) of each of the upper and lower tower sections and a plurality of additional bores (96) that align with the plurality of second bores (104) in the inwardly directed flange (90) of the lower section. A method of installing a wind turbine (10) having a cabled tower (12) is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A wind turbine comprising a tower, a nacelle arranged on the tower, a generator, and a rotor comprising at least one rotor blade, wherein the wind turbine comprises vortex generators arranged on an outer surface of the tower, wherein the vortex generators have a fin extending from the outer surface of the tower, and wherein the fin has a height extending perpendicularly from the surface of the tower and a fin chord extending parallel to the surface of the tower. The fin chord has a curvature such that a first end of the fin chord has a smaller angle to the horizontal than the opposite second end of the fin chord.
