Problems solved by technology

Given that the weight of these parts increases significantly, the same problem arises as forming the tower from a large number of parts, namely the high cost of both transport and assembly
Furthermore, in order to strengthen the structure of the tower, this embodiment employs an external pretensioning system comprising vertically tensioning cables, the problem of which is that it must be attached to the foundation of the tower, which must therefore be equipped with suitable

Example Embodiment

[0040] As shown in the drawings, the prefabricated modular tower 4 is the subject of the present invention, which basically includes a small number of tapered parts 1, 2, 3, each of the tapered parts 1, 2, 3 passes through a small amount of preferably reinforced concrete The manufactured identical prefabricated modular elements 6, 7, 8 are formed by lateral coupling. In the example of the preferred embodiment, the tower 4 is divided into three conical sections 1, 2, 3, each section having a height of about 30 to 35 m, so that the total height of the tower is about 100 m. In this example of the preferred embodiment, the lower part 1 is formed by five identical prefabricated module elements 6 placed side by side with each other; the middle part 2 is formed by another five identical prefabricated module elements 7 also placed side by side with each other, but with a diameter It is smaller than the diameter of the aforementioned prefabricated module element 6; the upper part 3 is form...

Abstract

Prefabricated modular tower of the kind used as a support for wind generators and other applications, characterised in that it uses reduced-thickness prefabricated elements, reinforced with an internal structure of horizontal and vertical stiffeners, preferably made of reinforced concrete; said elements being tensioned both horizontally and vertically by means of flexible metal cables. The main advantages of the invention presented are that it enables fast construction of very high towers using a limited number of elements and that these elements are not heavy and are easy to transport, all of which leads to savings in manufacturing, transport and installation costs.

Description

technical field [0001] As the title indicates, this description relates to a prefabricated modular tower for use as a support for wind turbines and other equipment, characterized in that it uses prefabricated elements of reduced thickness, preferably made of reinforced concrete, utilizing horizontal and vertical stiffeners; said elements are tensioned horizontally and vertically by means of flexible metal cables. Background technique [0002] There are currently many types of generators driven by the wind, which are also called wind turbines. These generators consist of a turbine with attached blades, which is supported on a tower. [0003] Most of the more commonly used generator support towers are metallic and have either a lattice structure or a cylindrical or hollow conical shape. These types of towers have a series of problems, among which we will mention the need for frequent maintenance through anti-rust treatment or painting, due to material fatigue (because they h...
