Abstract

System for tilting up a tower (3) for minimizing the stresses within the guy limes (5) experienced due to gravity on the inclined tower structure (3 ) during installation. The system comprises of lighter than air balloon (1) anchored operably to the tower (3) by means of single or multiple steel wires. By increasing the quantity of the lighter- than- air gas in the balloon (1), the buoyancy forces reduces the load on the guy wires (5) due to self -weight of the tower (3) and the wind turbine.
