contents <p>The Chalmers wind turbine is built to increase knowledge about how to design and operate wind turbines for the greatest benefit for society. The turbine is equipped with much more sensors than commercial turbines to create as much measurement data as possible. The wind turbine is connected to the electricity grid and delivers electricity when it is in operation, which will be when measurements take place. This version of the turbine was in operation 2021. </p> <p>The wind turbine is designed by Swedish engineers from foundation to blade tip. However, the generator comes from England as a result of a previous EU project. The foundation is made of concrete with iron reinforcement and it is possible to measure the forces in the reinforcement. The tower is made of wood to reduce CO2 emissions from the tower material, which normally is steel. The tower is a prototype to test how wooden towers work and also see if towers can be made in modules. The blades are completely in carbon fiber to be as light as possible. The control system is developed by Chalmers in collaboration with Swedish industry.</p>
