TOOL, INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY, AND METHOD FOR POSITIONING A WIND TURBINE BLADE
Described is a tool and apparatus for positioning a blade for a wind turbine the wind turbine including a tower and a rotatable hub on the tower. The tool is mounted on a side of the tower so that the blade is supported on the tower in an initial configuration. The tool includes a first part arranged to be angularly movable relative to a second part for tilting the blade with respect to the tower to position the blade in a position that can allow the blade to be connected to the hub.
Assembly comprising a first and a second section and a fixation
An assembly includes a first and a second section, where each section includes a longitudinal axis, and a fixation configured to fix the first and the second sections. At least one of the first and the second sections includes a body that is configured to be engaged by the fixation. The fixation includes an abutment and a displaceable actuator, and the actuator is radially displaceable.

METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A WIND TURBINE BLADE
A method for manufacturing a wind turbine blade, the method including the steps: a) positioning an outboard blade section at a predefined end position, the outboard blade section including an outboard end portion, b) positioning an inboard blade section adjacent to the outboard blade section, the inboard blade section including an inboard end portion, c) determining a deviation of a current position of the inboard end portion of the inboard blade section with respect to the outboard end portion the outboard blade section from a nominal position of the inboard end portion with respect to the outboard end portion, and d) moving the inboard blade section to the outboard blade section to compensate for the determined deviation. The complexity of the alignment procedure when aligning lengthwise blade sections are reduced and the accuracy of the alignment increased.
