Onshore Wind Energy Generation System
Support Structures for Onshore Wind Turbines
01
Tower
- A structural element that supports the onshore wind turbine and transfers dynamic loads to the ground through a concrete foundation
- Generally classified into two main types: tubular tower and lattice tower
02
Foundation
- A concrete structure that transfers wind turbine and tower excitations into the ground
- Generally classified into two main types: spread footing and isolated footing
