Abstract

The application describes an apparatus for and a method of mounting wind turbine blades on a wind turbine tower. A number of guide rods 94 are provided in the vicinity of the blade root and hub for connection to corresponding socket sections 96. The guide rods 94 and socket sections 96 are provided on respective ones of a wind turbine blade and a wind turbine hub to facilitate connection of one to the other. The guide rods 94 and the sockets 96 may be provide on the same or on different ones of the blade or hub. The guide rods and sockets allow the blade to be positioned at the hub in the correct rotational orientation to facilitate connection of the necessary fasteners.
