The turbines, which are expected to reach record heights of 200 meters, will be co-developed through a multi-year collaboration that seeks, overall, to increase renewable <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">energy<\/a> production while lowering the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE).<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration comes on the heels of an early <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3D print<\/a>ed prototype for the wind turbine base, which was successfully manufactured in October 2019 using COBOD\u2019s large-scale construction <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3D print<\/a>ing<\/a> technology. The prototype measures 10 meters in height and was produced in Copenhagen, where COBOD is based. Going forward, GE Renewable Energy, COBOD and LafargeHolcim will work towards building the full wind turbine prototype with printed pedestal, as well as towards introducing the production-ready <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3D print<\/a>ing<\/a> tech and materials needed to scale up production.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox-upload.oss-us-east-1.aliyuncs.com\/image\/2020\/11\/v2M3A3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>One of the key aspects of the project is the height of the new wind turbines. Today, most industrial wind turbines measure up to about 100 meters in height. The goal with the <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3D print<\/a>ed pedestal is to double that to increase the generation of renewable <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">energy<\/a> per turbine by capturing stronger winds. <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3D print<\/a>ing<\/a> is expected to make the project feasible, especially in terms of cost.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3D print<\/a>ed concrete bases will be designed to be built on-site using COBOD\u2019s AM process and will thus be customizable in terms of size. This approach is expected to enable the production of much taller wind turbines, between 150 to 200 meters because turbine producers will not be hindered by transport limitations<span>\u2014<\/span>today, the width of the base cannot exceed 4.5 meters for transportation reasons, which limits the height of the turbine. By increasing the height, the generation of power per turbine can also be increased substantially: for instance, a 5 MW turbine measuring 80 meters generates about 15.1 GWh a year. The same turbine measuring 160 meters would generate 20.2 GWh per year, an increase of 33%.<\/p>\n<div style=\"    background-color: #eaeaea7a;    padding: 15px 30px;    overflow-wrap: break-word;    display: flex;    align-items: center;    border-radius: 4px;    box-shadow: -1px 4px 20px 0px #dedede;    margin-top: 1em;    margin-bottom: 1em;\">\n<div style=\"    flex: 1;    padding-right: 30px;\">\n<h4 style=\"    margin-bottom: 14px;\">Manufacturing on Demand<\/h4>\n<div style=\"    display: block;\">Fast turnaround, low cost, comprehensive optimized strategy\u2026 FacFox is your one-stop partner for product manufacturing!\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"    background-color: #0baee8;    color: white;    padding: 10px 20px;    border-radius: 4px;\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa-fw auxicon auxicon-cloud-upload\"><\/i> Get Quote<\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox-upload.oss-us-east-1.aliyuncs.com\/image\/2020\/11\/RvEFnm.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter\">\n <\/div>\n<div>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox-upload.oss-us-east-1.aliyuncs.com\/image\/2020\/11\/VrimYz.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter\">\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cConcrete <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3D print<\/a>ing<\/a> is a very promising technology for us, as its incredible design flexibility expands the realm of construction possibilities,\u201d said Edelio Bermejo, Head of R&amp;D for LafargeHolcim. \u201cBeing both a user and promoter of clean <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">energy<\/a>, we are delighted to be putting our material and design expertise to work in this groundbreaking project, enabling cost efficient construction of tall wind turbine towers and accelerating access to renewable <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">energy<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Henrik Lund-Nielsen, founder of COBOD International A\/S added: \u201cWe are extremely proud to be working with world-class companies like GE Renewable Energy and LafargeHolcim.

The printing is not done on location. And this is a key element to address: just like with traditional 3D printing, the idea of producing full constructions on-location in a fully distributed approach is the ultimate goal of 3D printing. However, the technology has proven to offer significant cost, geometry and sustainability benefits even if large segments are printed in a facility and then assembled.
