Wind turbine tower is a key part of a complete wind turbine. Due to its huge size, the wind farm investors have to pay special attention to the tower selection. From its material and appearance, there are 3 main types of wind turbine tower on the market. They are the tubular steel wind turbine [...]
Wind turbine tower is a typical high-rise structure building. The average wind tower height on earth is around 90m - 130m. The wind turbine foundation bears the load transmitted from the wind turbine tower and the turbine on the top, especially the huge overturning moments. For onshore wind turbine tower, there are basically 5 [...]
Wind turbine tower is the supporting pole of complete wind turbine system. In global wind energy market, wind turbine towers and wind turbines are manufactured by different plants. To establish a wind farm project, the investors must find two different suppliers provides the wind turbine towers and wind turbines for them. But the design [...]
With the development of wind power, dispersed low speed wind generation system development is the key point of future wind power development. In 2011, China has built a trial wind farm in Anhui province, which is mainly focused on low wind speed power generation. Right now, China wind power market has fully stepped into [...]
Wind tower foundation is the base component of wind turbine towers. Wind Tower Foundations not only bear the complete weight of hundred meters high wind tower and the upper wind turbine, but also host all the stress states under wind turbine vibration, and the extreme weathers like: earthquake, strong wind, etc. The stiffness of [...]
Wind turbine tower is the key supporting part for the wind turbine system, it bears the force of wind on the blades, like thrust, torque, bending moment, and vibration of the electrical machine. wind turbine tower is composed of 3 or 4 section of straight cylinder or conic cylinder which are connected together with [...]
With the development of renewable energy, wind energy has been appreciated worldwide, as its characteristics of clean, recycled, renewable, and abundant sources, etc. In order to improve the environment problem and release the country from high fossil oil dependence, the national governments encouraged the investors to build wind farms to generate electricity instead of [...]
As the renewable energy, wind power development rapidly and gradually becomes the an important component of sustainable development strategies in many countries. Wind turbine equipment mainly consist of blades, wind turbine generator and wind turbine tower, among them, wind turbine tower is the support structure of wind turbine generator, also an essential part of [...]
We all know that the wind turbine tower is the pole that support the upper wind turbine. It offers the height wind turbines need, therefore, for the outsiders, wind turbine tower seems like a complete steel tubular with such a huge size. But are wind turbine towers really only a one piece steel tubular? [...]
As the renewable energy plays a significant role in power generation industry, there are thousands of wind farms around the world. Most of the wind farms adopt horizontal axis wind turbines, but there are also a few wind farms use vertical axis wind turbines. No matter what types of wind turbines they use, one [...]
