Sistema de conexión para torres mixtas de aerogeneradores.Connection system for mixed towers of wind turbines
La presente memoria descriptiva se refiere, como su título indica, a un sistema de conexión para torres mixtas de aerogeneradores, entendiéndose como torres mixtas las torres de elementos prefabricados de hormigón coronadas por una torre metálica, del tipo de los utilizados en torres de aerogeneradores realizadas con elementos prefabricados de hormigón tensados verticalmente mediante cables metálicos flexibles para enlazar con el tramo superior de la torre, realizado convencionalmente en metal, caracterizado porque utiliza una pieza de unión intermedia, solidarizada con la parte inferior de la torre mediante un cosido periférico directo a los mismos cables metálicos flexibles de tensado vertical de la torre, mientras que por la parte superior se solidariza al tramo superior de la torre mediante medios mecánicos de fijación convencionales.The present specification refers to, as its title indicates, to a connection system for mixed towers of wind turbines, understood as mixed towers the towers of precast concrete elements crowned by a tower metal, of the type used in wind turbine towers made with precast reinforced concrete elements vertically using flexible metal cables to link with the upper section of the tower, conventionally made of metal, characterized in that it uses an intermediate joint piece, in solidarity with the bottom of the tower by sewing direct peripheral to the same flexible metal cables of vertical tensioning of the tower, while at the top it solidarity with the upper section of the tower by mechanical means of conventional fixation.
En la actualidad son ampliamente conocidos múltiples y variados tipos de generadores de electricidad a partir de la energía eólica, también conocidos como aerogeneradores. Estos generadores constan de una turbina asociada a unas aspas que está soportada sobre una torre. En la actualidad la tecnología constructiva de las torres para aerogeneradores ha evolucionado hacia torres de mayor altura y capacidad de generación, las cuales, para conseguir mayor rigidez y resistencia estructural son realizadas principalmente mediante elementos prefabricados de hormigón, que, aparte de otros tipos de refuerzo y tensado, incorporan unos cables metálicos flexibles, anclados a la zapata de cimentación y verticalmente dispuestos que tensan la torre y garantizan una alta resistencia estructural.They are now widely known multiple and varied types of electricity generators from of wind power, also known as wind turbines. These generators consist of a turbine associated with blades that is supported on a tower. Technology today construction of the towers for wind turbines has evolved towards towers of greater height and generation capacity, which, to achieve greater rigidity and structural strength are made mainly by prefabricated elements of concrete, which, apart from other types of reinforcement and tension, they incorporate flexible metal cables, anchored to the shoe of foundation and vertically arranged that tension the tower and guarantee high structural strength.
Un ejemplo de este tipo de torres prefabricadas lo encontramos descrito en el Modelo de Utilidad 200402504 "Estructura perfeccionada de torre modular para turbinas eólicas y otras aplicaciones", en la que los cables tensores están dispuestos por el interior de la torre estando únicamente relacionados con los elementos que conforman la torre en unos pocos puntos. Otro ejemplo de estas realizaciones los encontramos reivindicado en la Patente ES 200500965 "Torre modular prefabricada", en la que, además de usar cables tensores periféricos horizontalmente dispuestos, los cables tensores verticales van discurriendo completamente por el interior de las piezas que conforman las paredes de la torre, a través de unas canalizaciones apropiadas, con la consiguiente mejora tanto en resistencia estructural como en acabado estético.An example of this type of prefabricated towers is described in Utility Model 200402504 "Improved modular tower structure for wind turbines and other applications ", in which the tension cables are arranged inside the tower being only related to the elements that make up the tower in a few points. Another example of these embodiments is found in the patent ES 200500965 " Prefabricated modular tower ", in which, in addition to using horizontally arranged peripheral tension cables, the vertical tension cables run completely through the interior of the parts that make up the walls of the tower, through appropriate pipes, with the consequent improvement in both structural strength and aesthetic finish.
Sobre la base y soporte de estas torres realizadas en elementos prefabricados de hormigón armado, se suele finalizar colocando un tramo final consistente en una torre convencional metálica, bien con estructura de celosía o con forma cilíndrica o tronco cónica hueca, conformando lo que denominamos una torre "mixta". Estas torres metálicas, cuando se utilizan por separado en aerogeneradores convencionales de baja altura, están directamente fijadas al suelo mediante atornillado a una dovela circular inserta en la zapata de hormigón de la cimentación. Sin embargo, el uso de una dovela similar para su unión a la parte superior de la torre realizada con elementos prefabricados de hormigón armado no es posible, ya que el escaso espesor de las paredes laterales de dichos elementos prefabricados imposibilita el correcto anclaje de la torre con la suficiente resistencia estructural requerida para soportar la parte superior del aerogenerador y la fuerza ejercida por el viento.On the base and support of these towers made of precast reinforced concrete elements, usually end by placing a final stretch consisting of a tower conventional metal, either with lattice structure or shaped cylindrical or hollow conical trunk, forming what we call a "mixed" tower. These metal towers, when used by separated in conventional low-rise wind turbines, they are directly fixed to the ground by screwing a dovela circular inserts in the concrete footing of the foundation. Without However, the use of a similar dovela for attachment to the part tower top made with prefabricated elements of reinforced concrete is not possible, since the low thickness of the side walls of said prefabricated elements precludes the correct tower anchor with sufficient strength structural required to support the upper part of the wind turbine and the force exerted by the wind.
Para solventar esta problemática existente en la actualidad de la fijación del tramo final consistente en una torre convencional metálica sobre torres realizadas en elementos prefabricados de hormigón armado se ha ideado el sistema de conexión para torres mixtas de aerogeneradores objeto de la presente invención, el cual utiliza una pieza de unión intermedia, solidarizada con la parte inferior de la torre mediante un cosido periférico directo a los mismos cables metálicos flexibles de tensado vertical de la torre, mientras que por la parte superior se solidariza al tramo superior de la torre mediante medios mecánicos de fijación convencionales.To solve this problem in the actuality of the fixation of the final section consisting of a tower conventional metal on towers made in elements Precast reinforced concrete connection system has been devised for mixed wind turbine towers object of the present invention, which uses an intermediate connecting piece, in solidarity with the bottom of the tower by sewing direct peripheral to the same flexible metal cables of vertical tensioning of the tower, while at the top it solidarity with the upper section of the tower by mechanical means of conventional fixation.
La pieza de unión consiste en una corona circular inferior y una corona circular superior de menor diámetro exterior que la inferior, ambas horizontalmente dispuestas y relacionadas entre sí por una pared vertical de directriz troncocónica o cilíndrica. La corona circular superior dispone de una pluralidad de perforaciones dispuestas circularmente para la fijación del tramo superior metálico de la torre mediante fijaciones mecánicas convencionales. La corona circular inferior dispone asimismo de una pluralidad de perforaciones por las que atraviesan los cables flexibles de tensado vertical de la torre, que son tensados, por ejemplo mediante gatos hidráulicos, y cerrados mediante cuñas cónicas de bloqueo sobre unos discos de cierre.The union piece consists of a crown lower circular and a smaller circular upper crown outside than the bottom, both horizontally arranged and related to each other by a vertical guideline wall conical or cylindrical trunk. The upper circular crown has a plurality of perforations arranged circularly for the fixation of the upper metal section of the tower by means of fixings conventional mechanics The lower circular crown has also of a plurality of perforations through which they pass the flexible vertical tension cables of the tower, which are tensioned, for example by hydraulic jacks, and closed by conical locking wedges on closing discs.
Este sistema de conexión para torres mixtas de aerogeneradores que se presenta aporta múltiples ventajas sobre los sistemas disponibles en la actualidad siendo la más importante que se consigue una unión entre la parte inferior de la torre, realizada con elementos prefabricados de hormigón, y la parte superior convencional realizada de metal manteniendo la misma resistencia estructural que la parte inferior de la torre.This connection system for mixed towers of Wind turbines presented brings multiple advantages over currently available systems being the most important that a union is achieved between the bottom of the tower, made with precast concrete elements, and the top conventional made of metal maintaining the same resistance structural than the bottom of the tower.
Es importante añadir que, mediante esta invención, la parte superior de la torre queda directamente anclada, mediante los cables de tensado, a la zapata de cimentación de la torre.It is important to add that, through this invention, the upper part of the tower is directly anchored, using the tensioning cables, to the foundation shoe of the tower.
Otra importante ventaja es que este sistema de conexión puede aplicarse indistintamente tanto a torres en los que los cables de tensado van empotrados por el interior de la pared, como a torres en las que los cables de tensado discurren por el interior de la torres, pero sin estar empotrados en sus paredes.Another important advantage is that this system of connection can be applied interchangeably to both towers where the tensioning cables are embedded inside the wall, as to towers in which the tension cables run through the interior of the towers, but without being embedded in its walls.
Asimismo podemos destacar la economía del sistema, al utilizar los mismos cables de tensado de los elementos prefabricados de hormigón para la fijación de la pieza de unión, y por tanto de la torre metálica superior, con lo cual, por añadidura, el proceso de colocación es rápido y económico.We can also highlight the economy of system, when using the same tensioning cables of the elements prefabricated concrete for fixing the connecting piece, and therefore of the upper metal tower, which, in addition, The placement process is fast and economical.
