Wind Turbine Transportation

Wind turbine blade transportation
The design is based on the 4.5 MW onshore platform in Canary Island. As it seen in the first figure also, transportation of the wind turbine stuffs can be also important point when it is designed.

Siemens blade transportation
Especially, blades and tower can make serious problems during transportation. That's why the place where turbine will be built must be also investigated before realizing the project. On the other hand transportation costs also can be so high, serious investigations must be done before whole project.

Tower transportation
Tower transportation can be achieved by dividing it to sections. It is pretty good advantage for towers. If not it would be also pretty hard to transport a tower from somewhere to somewhere.  Now one could ask, is it possible to divide blades ? For now answer is  no! Due to aerodynamic properties of the blade, it is not allowed to make sections on blade. 

Nacelle transportation
Nacelle transportation also can be problem sometimes because of its huge dimensions and weight. When it is designed, the place where it will be built must be investigated. As it seen in the previous figure, it is pretty hard to turn right or left with this huge transporter.
