| Abstract: |
Guyed towers for wind turbines make it possible to construct cost effective towers for wind turbines with large hub heights. In many areas as for instance the inlands of Norway, Sweden and Finland there is plenty of space for wind power parks. However these locations often have forest and undulating terrain which creates turbulence in the wind which again will reduce the power production from wind turbines and increase fluctuating loads. Therefore tall towers are desirable as the wind speed is both higher and less turbulent the higher from the terrain. |
