A model
designed to balance the bolting load of wind turbines is developed
Mikel
Abasolo, a researcher of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), has
built a simplified simulation model for wind turbines. All one has to do is
enter the characteristics that the tower and its parts will have, and in a
matter of seconds the model predicts the load that has to be given to each of
the bolts, which leads to great advantages in the construction and maintenance
process.
