Tallest wooden wind turbine of World
In a groundbreaking achievement for the renewable energy sector, a forward-thinking startup based in Sweden has recently installed the world's largest turbine, and what makes this innovation even more remarkable is that the turbine is constructed primarily from wood.
This revolutionary development marks a significant step forward in sustainable energy solutions, showcasing the potential of alternative materials in the field of wind energy technology.
The innovative startup behind the world's largest wooden turbine has truly pushed the boundaries of renewable energy technology by employing laminated veneer lumber (LVL) in the construction of its towering structures. Laminated veneer lumber is a composite material made from thin layers of wood veneers, typically softwoods like spruce, that are glued together to form a strong and versatile material.
What is a turbine?
A turbine is a mechanical device designed to convert the energy from a moving fluid—such as air, water, or steam—into rotational mechanical energy. In the context of renewable energy, turbines are commonly used in wind and hydropower systems. In a wind turbine, the kinetic energy of the wind turns the blades, causing them to rotate, and this rotational motion is then converted into electricity through a generator. In hydropower systems, turbines are placed in flowing water to capture the energy and convert it into rotational motion to generate electricity. Turbines play a crucial role in various power generation systems, serving as the mechanism that transforms the natural energy of fluids into a form of energy that can be easily harnessed for human use, typically electricity.
