Vestas V52 Wind Turbine Cabin House

From DIAB
 

 
Vestas is one of the leaders in wind turbine technology producing windmills with capacity ranging from 600 kW up to 3.0 MW. One such an example is the Vestas V52-850 kW which was developed as an all-round type of turbine, able to operate in remote and demanding areas. The cabin house of the V52-850 kW is a pure sandwich construction where all the benefits of sandwich technology such as sound insulation, freedom of design, good surface finish and high strength to weight ratio are put together to generate a state of the art wind turbine cabin house. The V52 cabin house is typically mounted on the tower 44 to 65 meters above ground and thus, exposed to high wind pressures. The purpose of the cabin house is to provide cover for the turbine, which is mounted directly onto the tower. The cabin also acts as a service platform for maintenance work.
