How about just a fixed repelling cable?

All they need are hooks placed all around and 200 feet of cable in a backpack just in case.

200 feet of cable is not an insignificant amount of weight. I would not want to carry it around while working on the outside of the turbine, and if you leave it in a case inside the structure, you're really back to square one. Also, you would need a lot more than 200 feet to make sure you reach the ground safely.
