Important aspects in design of anemometric steel masts in the Republic of Serbia

Abstract

Design and construction of large wind farms requires preliminary measurement of wind energy potential at the future wind farm location. For these purposes, anemometer steel guyed masts are used, which carry equipment for measuring wind speed and direction at different altitudes. This paper will present some important aspects in the analysis, structural design, foundation and assembly of steel masts, identified during the design (by the authors) and construction of several such structures in the Republic of Serbia in the last three years.

Projektovanje i izgradnja velikih vetroparkova zahteva prethodno merenje vetroenergetskog potencijala na predmetnoj lokaciji. Za ove potrebe, koriste se anemometarski čelični stubovi (jarboli) koji nose opremu za merenje brzine i pravca vetra na različitim visinskim novoima. U ovom radu biće prikazane neke specifičnosti u analizi, konstrukcijskom oblikovanju, fundiranju i montaži čeličnih jarbola, uočene tokom projektovanja (od strane autora) i izgradnje više ovakvih konstrukcija u Republici Srbiji u poslednje tri godine.
