Abstract
A mass damper module (600) for a wind turbine installation comprises: an attachment interface (603a-d) adapted to removably attach the mass damper module to structural lifting parts (303a-d) of a nacelle (300) of the wind turbine installation; and an active tuned mass damper (601) controllable to damp vibration of the wind turbine installation when the mass damper module is so attached to the nacelle and the nacelle is attached to a tower (200) to form the wind turbine installation.
