Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wind power plant tower having a multiplicity of tower segments which are arranged one on top of the other and enclose an interior tower space, and at least two system components from the group of a conductor, a lighting and a climbing device for operating personnel arranged in the tower inner space. Segments for the system components are structurally combined with a beam to form a separate supply module spanning a number of tower segments. The laborious assembly of the system components can thus be carried out at ground level, and only the supply module thus completed, which spans a number of segments, is then mounted in the tower. This obviates the need for a considerable amount of work in the form of hazardous working in the tower.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A wind power plant tower comprising: multiple tower segments arranged one above the other and surrounding a tower inner space, and a supply module comprising at least two system components selected from the group consisting of a conductor, a lighting and a climbing device for operating personnel, wherein the at least two system components of the supply module are connected to each other on a girder, the supply module is fastened at its upper and…
