Накратко на български

Високите кули за ветрогенератори се изследват чрез нова конструкция от ферми вместо традиционни тръби. Това помага за създаването на по-леки, стабилни и икономични съоръжения за производство на чиста енергия.

Design of Hyper Tall Onshore Wind Turbine Towers

In order to catch the “20-20-20” targets there is a global trend to increase the use of sustainable sources in energy production. This leads among other sustainable energy production fields, the wind energy sector to evolve in radical ways. Contemporary onshore towers become more efficient due to increased tower heights but certain structural issues arise that make the construction of taller towers difficult to realise with the traditional tubular tower configuration. This makes the development of a new tower configuration imperative for the construction of hyper tall structures. Hyper Tower addresses this particular issue of constructing more robust, economical, light-weight and safe wind turbine towers by proposing an innovative tower configuration. It provides a crucial contribution to the wind energy sector by proposing the design of an innovative self-rising wind turbine tower configuration assembled by trusses made up from innovative cross-sections. Multiple loading conditions are examined in order to reassure its safety, robustness and design life. All the problems of traditional tubular wind turbine towers are overcome and the construction of more economic, environmental friendly and robust wind turbine towers is facilitated. The projects positive impact on society is evident since through its implementation a positive transfer of knowledge was realized among the research fellow, the scientific communities and the general society where the fellowship was undertaken. The innovative wind tower investigated in Hyper Tower project is a structure that can be implemented and offer to society greener energy. The results are disseminated and are open to the public, both to the scientific but also to the industrial community. The overall objectives of Hyper Tower project are: RO1, to provide improved understanding of wind turbine tower design; RO2, to achieve greater tower heights in parallel with material use economy; RO3, to identify the critical points where experimental and numerical results do not coincide and to provide sufficient explanation of future improvements; RO4, to shorten the data needed to perform fatigue analyses with the use of artificial loading histories and calculate the design life of the structures; RO5, to develop new methodologies in order to achieve towers with greater height and to solve the new structural problems that appear.

Цел на проекта

HYPER TOWER is a very promising project that will lead to a radical increase in the wind turbine tower height and consequently to an increase in the energy potential harvested by wind structures. The project reaches its aims of constructing taller, more robust and economical towers by realizing 6 work packages that are formulated and developed in 2 years. In approaching the ""20-20-20"" targets, more and more energy has to come from sustainable energy sources and since ""The taller the wind tower is, the greener the energy is"", a constant trend of taller wind energy structures is observed. The civil engineers' challenge of constructing taller structures, with heavier machinery hanging at greater heights has led to the need of evolution of a new tower configuration that can reassure the structure's robustness along with a feasible construction schedule.Hyper Tower proposes the elaboration of a new-age tower cross-section and construction methodology, which are elaborated within the project's work packages. Assessment of existing tower configuration is performed, the proposal of a new-age tower section is elaborated, numerical and experimental results are assessed and compared to traditional tower configuration results and the final tower configuration is formulated.""
