Abstract

The invention relates to a wind turbine ( 100 ) with a tower ( 10 ). The present invention is based on the task of advancing a wind turbine ( 100 ) in such a way that high degrees of efficiency in the use of input wind energy are maintained along with reduced production costs for wind turbines ( 100 ) and simple design features in the construction of the tower ( 10 ). The task is solved by said tower ( 10 ) being a timber-made hollow body, that said tower ( 10 ) consists of modules in the form of segments ( 16 ), which are arranged on top of each other, and that said segments ( 16 ) consist of timber panels ( 17, 18, 19, 20 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 14 . (canceled) 
   
   
       15 . A Wind Turbine Tower, comprising a hollow body of stacked segmented modules constructed from timber panels. 
   
   
       16 . A Wind Turbine Tower according to claim  1 , wherein the cross section of the modules decreases from bottom to top of the tower. 
   
   
       17 . A Wind Turbine Tower according to claim  2 , wherein the modules are cone-shaped. 
   
   
       18 . A Wind Turbine Tower according to claim  1 , wherein the modules are of a polygon cross section, including quadrilateral and pentagonal cross sections. 
   
   
       19 . A Wind Turbine Tower according to claim  1  wherein the modules are interconnected by at least one of adhesive or bolting together. 
   
   
       20 . A Wind Turbine Tower according to claim  1  wherein the panels are connected by at least one means of connection including adhesive. 
   
   
       21 . A Wind Turbine Tower according to claim  1 , further comprising timber panels disposed between the modules. 
   
   
       22 . A Wind Turbine Tower according to claim  1 , comprising at least two types of timber. 
   
   
       23 . A Wind Turbine Tower according to claim  1  wherein the panels are of a trapezoidal shape. 
   
   
       24 . A Wind Turbine Tower according to claim  1 , wherein the tower is closed at at least one of the top or bottom of the tower. 
   
   
       25 . A Wind Turbine Tower according to claim  1 , wherein the timber panels are constructed of a derived timber product. 
   
   
       26 . A Wind Turbine Tower according to claim  1 , wherein the timber panels are constructed from at least two types of timber.
