Indian wind group Suzlon said it commissioned the country’s tallest turbine to use a hybrid concrete tubular tower (HCT).
The OEM installed the first prototype S120 140m HCT a site in Tamil Nadu, featuring a 2.1MW turbine with 120-metre-diameter rotor atop a 140-metre tower.
Suzlon claimed the HCT, which combines a concrete base and foundation with a tubular steel tower, save costs compared to all-steel structures.
