    Abstract: A method for handling a wind turbine component (20) is disclosed. The method includes providing a lifting system including a hoist cable (36) and an attachment assembly (38). The attachment assembly includes one or more removable ballast weights (48). The method includes positioning the attachment assembly near a working surface, removing at least some of the one or more ballast weights from the attachment assembly, and attaching a lifting tool (34) to the attachment assembly. The combined weight of the attachment assembly and the lifting tool is sufficiently greater than a threshold weight of the lifting system. The method further includes attaching a wind turbine component to the lifting tool and moving the wind turbine component using the lifting system. A lifting system is also disclosed. The lifting system includes a hoist cable, an attachment assembly, and a lifting tool. The combined weight of the attachment assembly and the lifting tool is sufficiently greater than a threshold weight of the lifting system.

    Abstract: A method of lifting a rotor of a wind turbine, the rotor having a center of gravity and including a hub and first, second, and third blades projecting outwardly from the hub at locations circumferentially distributed thereabout, includes positioning first and second slings around the first and second blades, respectively, to define first and second lifting zones delineating a lifting envelope, wherein the lifting envelope encompasses the center of gravity. The method also includes lifting the rotor above a surface via the first and second slings wherein the rotor is in one of a substantially horizontal or substantially vertical orientation, with the aid of at least one of the first and second slings while continuing to fully support the rotor by the first and second slings.

    Abstract: The invention provides a method for installing or removing components (314, 322) of a wind turbine (3), comprising separately fastening two or more wind turbine components (314, 322) to a respective receiving structure (319, 323) of the wind turbine, or separately releasing the components (314, 322) from the respective receiving structure (319, 323), characterised by, before the fastening of the components (314, 322), or subsequently to the releasing of the components, lifting the components (314, 322) simultaneously, so as to be carried by a lifting line (441) of a crane (1), wherein the directional inter-relationship of the components, during the lifting of the components (314, 322), is substantially the same as the directional inter-relationship of the components when fastened to the respective receiving structure (319, 323).

    Abstract: A method of handling a component of a wind turbine includes suspending the component in a suspended orientation via a first lifting arrangement, recording a position of the first lifting arrangement relative to the component when the component is in the suspended orientation, and installing the component on the wind turbine. The method may further include recalling the recorded position, arranging a second lifting arrangement at the recorded position relative to the component, dismantling the component from the wind turbine, and suspending the component in the suspended orientation via the second lifting arrangement.
