In the quiet town of Ventoria, nestled amid serene hills and gentle breezes, lived a curious inventor named Andreas. Entranced by the winds that swept through the valley and inspired by the art of construction (AEdificare), Andreas envisioned a grand structure that would harness the power of the wind (VENtus). With a stroke of insight, Andreas merged his vision with the German word TOR (tower), symbolizing strength and stability.
This fusion led to the birth of a groundbreaking concept: the high-altitude modular post-tensioned concrete wind tower. Andreas's creation epitomized his journey of discovery, blending ancient wisdom with modern engineering to create a sustainable legacy amidst the whispering winds of Ventoria.
1. Hub Heights (HH) ranging from 120 m to 180 m (394 ft to 591 ft).
2. Fabricated using High Performance Concrete (HPC) with fibers and additives, achieving compressive strength in the range of 40 to 60 MPa (5.8 ksi to 8.7 ksi).
3. Ideal for onshore & offshore wind turbines within the 10 MWh and 20 MWh range.
4. Suited for blade lengths ranging from 87 m (285 ft) to 107 m (351 ft).
5. Utilizes post-tensioned strands along the full height of the tower to prevent tension or cracks in concrete under extreme stresses.
6. Generates 5% more energy output from wind turbines for every 10 m (30 ft) increase in height due to elevated wind speeds.
7. Transported via rotating dollies using road, train, and ship methods.
8. Features an escalating crane with mechanical anchorages and a 4-point attachment spreader fixture for efficient assembly and installation.
