Influence of Reginal Geological Structures on Construction of High-altitude Mountainous Wind Farms
In a high-altitude mountainous wind farm in Min County,Gansu Province,various geological problems,such as geological disasters caused by tectonism,differential weathering of bedrock,and well-developed fissures,are caused due to the instable geological structures,active faults near the site area,and frequent earthquake activities.To ensure the construction quality of the wind farm and the operation safety of the wind turbine units,the geological problems should be identified during the survey phase.Thus,the site selection,foundation type selection,and foundation treat-ment during the construction can be reasonably designed and appropriately implemented to minimize the waste of time and construction costs caused by design changes.
