Abstract
A semi- or fully automated maintenance device for use with a wind turbine is described. The maintenance device includes a base that is removably coupled to a tower of the wind turbine. This base may be vertically displaced along a vertical direction of the tower. Moreover, the maintenance device may include a telescopic arm in a horizontal direction relative to the vertical direction. This telescopic arm may provide a selectable and dynamic displacement of a distal end of the telescopic arm relative to a vertical axis of the tower. Furthermore, the maintenance device may include a maintenance arm coupled to the distal end of the telescopic arm. During operation, while the maintenance device is moved in the vertical direction and the telescopic arm dynamically adjusts the horizontal displacement, the maintenance arm may perform maintenance, such as inspection, cleaning, repair, of a given wing or blade of the wind turbine.
