NOISE BARRIER

 

The rotor blades, which are set up in a row, are loaded primarily by wind transversely to the longitudinal axis - similar to the initial application in the wind turbine. Therefore, no reinforcements to a significant extent should be necessary.


CANTILEVER BEAM 

The horizontal segments are mainly subjected to normal force (compression) and secondarily to bending due to the attached roof cladding. The chord reinforcement required for bending and normal force is combined in one element.


STADIUM ROOF


Clamped at the base into the circumferential ring, the cantilever beams carry only wind loads and the low dead loads. Reinforcement by laminated chord strips will only be necessary close to the restraint in the bending compression and tension area.

The calculation of the buoyancy force is based on the rotor blade Enercon E66. The rotor blade type was installed in wind turbines between 1995 and 2005 and is currently one of the type generation affected by decommissioning in Europe. The rotor blades are each 31 m long. and have a volume of 98.8 m3. The buoyancy force and thus the possible load capacity, after deduction of the dead weight, is 94 tons.
Based on these fixed sizes, concepts for floating islands are being developed in the rethink*rotor project, as a provision for land replacement.
Tuvalu is one example. Because of its remote location in Oceania, the South Pacific island nation is difficult to reach. Only 11,500 people live on Tuvalu's nine islands - comparable to a small Central European town. On the densely populated atoll of Funafuti, which is one of the nine inhabited island groups of Tuvalu, live just over 6,000 inhabitants, about 60% of the total population.
As early as 1989, the United Nations placed the country on a list of several island groups that are in danger of sinking into the sea in the 21st century due to global warming. Already today, two of Tuvalu's nine atolls are almost completely submerged.
