The
wind is one of the cleanest sources of power. Wind turbines harness the power
of the wind to generate electricity. Wind tower is the support structure for a
wind turbine and its other components such as blades, turn around a rotor and
create electricity. It helps the wind
turbine blades to safely clear the ground and elevate the turbine to an optimal
height to generate electrical energy from the wind. As the speed increases with
altitude, it is better to install tall wind towers to produce maximum output.
Taller towers are desirable because winds are stronger at higher altitudes,
thereby producing more power for each turbine installed. The opportunity to
achieve 12% more power output per installed-turbine could not be realized
without addressing the key height issues of installing 80m or higher towers. A detailed analysis report of COVID-19
impact on Wind Tower Market Share is provided with the report.
Industry Highlights
Wind energy
started with 40m to 50m towers that supported 400-kW to 660-kW turbines. These
structures were mostly a truss tower type and can still be seen in certain
"wind farm cradles. The towers with capacity range of 1.0-MW and 1.5-MW,
became tubular steel structures and foundation design solutions were needed to
solve the ever-growing load demand on the structure. These tubular steel
structures have become the mainstay of the wind tower market.
Initial research
showed that, while a composite tower would reduce weight, it would not be able
to achieve the required stiffness levels and thus would be subject to
unacceptable resonance oscillation forces. The company applied its learning and
adapted the composite design to a highly innovative steel space frame structure
that achieved all of the design objectives.
Several tower
designs have been proposed for 100m and more. Conventional 80 to 100m towers
could be placed atop the 31m tall concrete foundation for hub heights 111 to
131m. The wider than conventional base also allows using less concrete and
rebar in the foundation.
Global wind tower
market is expected to be very broad in the coming years. MRFR analysts have
predicted that wind energy industry is about to grow at a rapid pace. Moreover,
the economic growth with emissions reduction have given the growth, a momentum.
