Making wind turbines more sustainable

An ICITECH study offers designs between 8 and 15% more sustainable

A study carried out by researchers at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), belonging to the Institute of Science and Technology of Concrete (ICITECH), in collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg (Sweden), promises to revolutionise the structural design of wind turbines. Their work offers solutions that are 8-15% more sustainable than traditional wind turbine designs. This study presents an innovative and efficient method for optimising the design of wind turbine foundations, thus improving energy efficiency in their construction. The results obtained in the study, published in the journal Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization, demonstrate its... ...
