Each One Energy wind turbine is supported by a tower made up of four sections: the base section, the lower-mid section, the upper-mid section, and the top section. Each section tapers so that it’s wider at the bottom than it is at the top – which provides stability.
In today’s edition of Wind Views, a crane is lifting the lower-mid tower section, as One Energy technicians prepare to “catch” it and attach it to the base section. We call this phase of wind turbine construction “stacking the tower.” You can see all four tower sections in this photo, and if you look closely, you may notice their tapered shape!
