AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional steel towers require a large amount of steel to meet the requirements of height, rigidity, and strength, resulting in high manufacturing and installation costs and making it difficult to balance project cost.

Method used

The structure adopts a modular steel tower structure, which is formed by splicing channel steel into segmented steel tower tubes. These segmented steel tower tubes are then spliced ​​together to form a sectioned steel tower tube, which is connected to the wind turbine foundation and connecting parts to form an integral modular steel tower tube structure. This improves rigidity and strength while reducing the amount of steel used.

Benefits of technology

Without increasing the tower wall thickness and height, the rigidity and strength of the steel tower are improved to meet the load-bearing capacity of the wind turbine unit, while reducing steel consumption and transportation costs.
