Overview picture (10kw wind turbine generator system with 12m hydraulic tower)
Tower is a significant part for the wind turbine generator system (WTGS). Currently, there are two kinds of tower available on the market for WTGS. One is cable tower, and the other is free stand tower. Cable tower enjoys the advantage of being installed manually, while the disadvantage lies in taking huge room, which has an effect on aesthetics. Free stand tower is endowed with the advantages of being beautiful and firm. However, a crane is essential for installation and maintenance. No matter what kind of tower available on market now, the expenditure for installation and maintenance would take a large part in the total cost of purchasing WTGS, which indirectly increases users’ expenditure and postpones the period of cost recovery. Statistically, in some developed countries, the maintenance expenditure per year charged by laying down the tower would be that of the tower itself.
Innovative towers developed by Tairui Windpower Co.,Ltd are classified into two, namely, conventional tower and hydraulic tower system. Conventional tower enjoys the advantages of taking small room and handsome exterior. Foremost, three segments can be inserted into one for transporting so that the transportation cost will be lessened dramatically. Compared with the conventional tower in addition to the above advantages, problems such as inconvenient maintenance and large maintenance expenditure can be solved by the appliance of the hydraulic tower. With the appliance of hydraulic tower system, tower erection for installation and maintenance can be easily accomplished by one person. The hydraulic tower system can be applied to wind turbine generator with weight (including generator & blades) less than 500KGS and swept area less than 50 square meters.
With the appliance of innovative towers, the benefits of investing wind turbine system can be achieved with a relatively short period, which is favorable to the end users. Therefore, the innovative tower system developed and manufactured by Tairui Windpower Co.,Ltd will be the most preferred tower recommended by WTGS industry. |
