Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods for installing and uninstalling devices for reducing vibrations in wind turbines and to such devices. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to methods for installing and uninstalling devices for reducing vortex induced vibrations and stall induced vibrations when the wind turbine is parked, especially during wind turbine installation and/or maintenance, and to such devices. A method for installing a vibration mitigating device for mitigating wind turbine vibrations on a wind turbine blade of a parked wind turbine is provided. The method comprises moving the vibration mitigating device at least partially around the wind turbine blade using one or more drones; and securing the vibration mitigating device to the wind turbine. In some examples, the vibration mitigating device may be carried to the wind turbine blade using the one or more drones.
