Tour. Son rôle est d’une part de supporter l’ensemble rotor + nacelle, mais aussi de le placer à une hauteur suffisante, de manière à sortir autant que possible le rotor du gradient de vent qui existe à proximité du sol, améliorant ainsi la captation de l’énergie. Certains constructeurs proposent ainsi différentes hauteurs de tour pour un même ensemble rotor + nacelle de manière à s’adapter au mieux à différents sites d’implantation. Trois grands types de tour peuvent se rencontrer : Mât haubané [… ] Tour en treillis [… ] Tour tubulaire […] 6, record 2, French, - m%C3%A2t%20%C3%A9olien
