Construction of the world’s tallest wind turbine started

By admin, Kasım 16, 2024










Work has begun to develop the world’s tallest wind turbine. Turbine consisting of two nested towers 364 metre will have height. The turbine will reach faster and more regular winds at altitude. It will be built between already installed wind turbines and will create new capacity without interrupting the wind of those below.

As the wind approaches the ground, it slows down due to the friction of the earth. That’s why turbines have grown taller over the years. However, since the cranes do not grow very tall, a German company places a wind turbine on a four-legged skeleton iron tower. The turbine to be mounted on the inner tower will be pulled up with an arch system and mounted at the top, so it will not be subject to crane restrictions on land.

Will get 40 percent more wind

At this height, it will capture 40% more wind than a similar diameter turbine. This amount will enable twice as much electricity to be produced throughout the year. Moreover, since the winds are regular here, the turbine will work longer at full load. This amount of wind and electricity production is similar to giant offshore turbines, but since the process is on land, the cost is much less.

(The picture shows the tower as a straight bar, but this is an old picture. The current design has a design like electric poles)

The best part of the system is that, thanks to the extreme elevation of the turbine, it is much higher than normal sized turbines and does not cause wind turbulence to the turbines below. Therefore, new tall turbines built between existing turbines in a power plant will significantly increase production. This allows much more wind energy to be extracted from the same area. Thanks to this technology, new capacities can be added both on land and in old areas for countries like us that have difficulty in benefiting from offshore energy. Layered field installations may also occur in the future.

The technology behind it is actually quite simple. Instead of the classical tower consisting of large tube-shaped cylinders, a 4-legged steel construction tower resembling the Eiffel Tower is being installed. The challenge is to make it in two parts and lift the turbine to the top of the inner tower. Here, Gicon engineering company, which specializes in such different special projects, comes into play and prepares the design.

Although it is certain that more steel and labor will naturally be used in such a system, it is said that this is in any case more advantageous depending on the amount of electricity to be produced, but the figure is not shared.
