    Guyed Wind Turbine Tower Concept Low Res

    Uploaded by

    Tiago Cunha
    This document describes an innovative guyed wind turbine tower concept developed by Ramboll to enable larger hub heights. The concept uses guy ropes attached below the rotor to reinforce standard tubular towers, allowing taller towers to be built with smaller diameters than traditional designs. This leads to advantages like lower material needs, easier transport and assembly, and smaller foundations. Ramboll has over 70 years of experience with guyed mast design which has been applied to this new wind turbine tower solution.
