Abstract[English]
A method of replacing a component (28b) of an offshore wind turbine (10) includes providing a sea vessel (30) having a transport system (50) with a base (52), an elongate platform (54) connected to the base (52), and a transport frame (56a, 56b) for receiving a component (28b) of the wind turbine (10). The sea vessel (30) is positioned such that its deck (40) is separated from the wind turbine (10) by more than a maximum working distance (72) of a crane (26) onboard the wind turbine (10), and further positioned such that in an extended position, the transport frame (56a, 56b) is within the maximum working distance (72) of the crane (26), and in a retracted position, the transport frame (56a, 56b) is outside of the maximum working distance (72). The method includes arranging the transport frame (56a, 56b) in the extended position, lowering a component (28b) of the wind turbine (10) using the crane (26), and placing the component (28b) on the transport frame (56a, 56b). A transport system (50) for handling wind turbine components (28a, 28b) is also disclosed.[French]
Un procédé de remplacement d'un composant (28b) d'une éolienne en mer (10) comporte la fourniture d'un navire marin (30) présentant un système de transport (50) doté d'une base (52), d'une plateforme allongée (54) reliée à la base (52) et d'un cadre de transport (56a, 56b) destiné à recevoir un composant (28b) de l'éolienne (10). Le navire marin (30) est positionné de sorte que son pont (40) est séparé de l'éolienne (10) de plus d'une distance de travail maximale (72) d'une grue (26) à bord de l'éolienne (10) et est en outre positionné de sorte que, dans une position étendue, le cadre de transport (56a, 56b) se trouve à l'intérieur de la distance de travail maximale (72) de la grue (26), et dans une position rétractée, le cadre de transport (56a, 56b) est à l'extérieur de la distance de travail maximale (72). Le procédé comporte l'agencement du cadre de transport (56a, 56b) dans la position étendue, l'abaissement d'un composant (28b) de l'éolienne (10) au moyen de la grue (26) et le placement du composant (28b) sur le cadre de transport (56a, 56b). Un système de transport (50) destiné à manipuler des composants d'éolienne (28a, 28b) est également divulgué.
