==CONNECTION SYSTEM FOR ATTACHING A BLADE ACCESS SYSTEM TO A NACELLE OF A WIND TURBINE AND METHOD OF USING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240052812 titled 'CONNECTION SYSTEM FOR ATTACHING A BLADE ACCESS SYSTEM TO A NACELLE OF A WIND TURBINE AND METHOD OF USING SAME

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a blade access system for a wind turbine, which includes a support frame that can be attached to the nacelle of the turbine. The support frame and the nacelle each have connecting members that can be selectively attached and detached from each other.

* The blade access system includes a support frame that can be coupled to the nacelle of a wind turbine.
* The support frame has connecting members that can be attached to and detached from connecting members on the nacelle.
* The connecting members on the support frame and nacelle define locked and unlocked positions for attaching and detaching the support frame.
* The method of connecting the blade access system to the nacelle is also disclosed.

---

### Potential Applications
* Maintenance and inspection of wind turbine blades.
* Installation of equipment on wind turbine nacelles.

### Problems Solved
* Facilitates safe and efficient access to wind turbine blades.
* Simplifies the process of attaching and detaching equipment from wind turbine nacelles.

### Benefits
* Reduces downtime for maintenance and inspection of wind turbines.
* Improves safety for workers accessing wind turbine blades.
* Streamlines the process of connecting equipment to wind turbine nacelles.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a blade access system () includes a support frame () configured to be coupled to a nacelle () of a wind turbine (), the support frame () having at least one connecting member () configured to be selectively attached to and detached from at least one connecting member () included with the nacelle (). a nacelle () includes at least one connecting member () configured to be coupled to at least one connecting member () of a support frame () of a blade access system (). the at least one support frame connecting member () is configured to cooperate with the at least one nacelle connecting member () to define an unlocked position which is configured to allow the support frame () to attach to and detach from the nacelle (), and a locked position which is configured to prevent the support frame () from detaching from the nacelle (). a method of connecting the blade access system () to the nacelle () is also disclosed.
