Abstract: A method of assembling a wind turbine tower section (12a) from a plurality of tower segments (22) includes providing the plurality of tower segments (22) to a wind turbine installation site (32), forming a tower section frame assembly (96) by connecting at least two tower segments (22a, 22b) with a support beam (72), wherein the tower section frame assembly (96) forms a framework on which to further assemble the tower section (12a), arranging the tower section frame assembly (96) on an assembly stand (42), and attaching the remaining plurality of tower segments (22c-22h) to the tower section frame assembly (96) to form the tower section (12a). A method of preinstalling splice plates (106) on the tower segments (22a-22h) for guiding or assembly simplification purposes is also disclosed. The splice plates (106) may be preinstalled from the factory or at the installation site (32).
