Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to an offshore wind power generator, a lifting jig for transferring the offshore wind power generator, and a method for installing the offshore wind power generator using the lifting jig. The offshore wind power generator according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a blade, a nacelle including a power generator for generating power by the rotation of the blade, and a tower supporting the nacelle and installed on a support structure installed offshore. Also, the offshore wind power generator includes a tower support structure installed on the tower so that the tower is lifted using a predetermined transfer unit in a state where the blade, the nacelle, and the tower are integrally assembled. The tower support structure is disposed above a center of gravity of the wind power generator at which the blade, nacelle, and the tower are integrally assembled.

First claim
