The first wind turbine with an ATS hybrid tower has been completed. After the concrete tower had been erected end of 2008, the Siemens steel tower segment has now also been installed at the Grevenbroich wind test site in North-Rhine Westphalia.
The pilot project has now been completed with the installation of the nacelle, a 2.3MW system from Siemens - and the rotor with a diameter of 93 meters. The tower combines a lower segment consisting of long, narrow pre-cast ATS concrete components and an upper segment made of conventional steel elements. Altogether, the turbine measures 180 meters with a hub height at 133 meters.
