Modvion unveils wooden wind turbine tower for the largest onshore turbines.

  • 7 mars 2025
  • Press Release

The wood technology company Modvion is now announcing its new wooden wind turbine tower, engineered for the largest onshore wind turbines. The tower has been given third party approval and will now be adapted for series production.

The new tower is designed to support a V162 – 6.4MW turbine from the Vestas Enventus platform with 35 years lifetime. The tower design has been evaluated by the independent certification body TÜV SÜD and received a design evaluation conformity statement.

Having this stamp of approval for one of the largest onshore turbines available is a great leap forward” says Otto Lundman, CEO at Modvion. “Our modular wind turbine towers dramatically reduce CO2 emissions by replacing steel and concrete with wood, whilst enabling highly efficient, taller installations without transport bottlenecks.”

The design evaluation was completed by TÜV SÜD and the conformity statement was officially handed over at their wind towers conference held in Munich on 28th February.  The design evaluation is based on a full review of technical data and testing methodology and confirms that the design meets the international quality standards IECRE OD-501 in combination with OD-501-3.

The tower design meets all the requirements from the industry and has been thoroughly tested. We look forward to a continued collaboration with Modvion to bring wind turbine towers made of wood to the European market” said Stephan Mayer, Head of Support Structures on- and offshore at TÜV SÜD.

The tower was designed to demonstrate that Modvion’s wind turbine tower technology can be scaled up for the most powerful wind turbines onshore. Now the company is focusing on adapting the design for series production where they will produce towers with hub heights up to 219 metres.

We look forward to supplying the wind industry with towers manufactured in Sweden, and contributing to the strengthening of Europe’s clean energy supply chain” says Otto Lundman.

About Modvion

Swedish wood technology company Modvion develops demanding designs made of laminated wood, nature’s carbon fibre, for large-scale applications. Wooden designs enable radical reductions in emissions by replacing emission-heavy materials such as steel and concrete. Thanks to their patented module system, Modvion has been able to develop cost-effective wind turbine towers and more efficient transportation for installations of tall towers. The operation is part-financed by the Swedish Energy Agency, the Västra Götaland region, and the EU program Horizon 2020 EIC Accelerator.

 

 

Modvion presenterar trätorn för de största landbaserade vindkraftverken

Träteknologiföretaget Modvion presenterar nu sitt nya vindkraftstorn i trä, konstruerat för att bära de största turbinerna för landbaserad vindkraft. Tornet har fått tredjepartsgodkännande och kommer nu att anpassas för serieproduktion.

Det nya tornet är utformat för att bära en V162 – 6,4 MW turbin från Vestas EnVentus-plattform med en livslängd på 35 år. Tornets design har utvärderats av det oberoende certifieringsorganet TÜV SÜD och har erhållit ett designutvärderingsintyg.

– Att få denna kvalitetsstämpel för en av de största landbaserade turbinerna på marknaden är ett stort steg framåt. Våra modulära vindkraftstorn minskar koldioxidutsläppen dramatiskt genom att ersätta stål och betong med trä, samtidigt som de möjliggör högeffektiva, högre installationer utan transportbegränsningar, säger Otto Lundman, VD för Modvion.

Designutvärderingen slutfördes av TÜV SÜD och intyget överlämnades officiellt vid deras vindtornskonferens i München den 28 februari. Utvärderingen bygger på en fullständig granskning av tekniska data och testmetodik och bekräftar att designen uppfyller de internationella kvalitetsstandarderna IECRE OD-501 i kombination med OD-501-3.

– Tornets design uppfyller alla branschkrav och har testats noggrant. Vi ser fram emot ett fortsatt samarbete med Modvion för att introducera vindkraftstorn i trä på den europeiska marknaden, säger Stephan Mayer, chef för bärande strukturer på land och till havs vid TÜV SÜD.

Tornet är utformat för att demonstrera att Modvions vindtornsteknik kan skalas upp för de mest kraftfulla landbaserade vindkraftverken. Nu fokuserar företaget på att anpassa designen för serieproduktion och producera torn med navhöjder på upp till 219 meter.

– Vi ser fram emot att leverera torn som är tillverkade i Sverige till vindkraftsindustrin, och bidra till att stärka Europas leveranskedja för ren energi, säger Otto Lundman.

The future is wooden

Modvion provides the wind power industry with the solution needed to build tall wind turbine towers. When the height of a tower doubles, the effect from the turbine quadruples.

The market predictions are 30 000 new turbines per year. And every wind turbine needs a tower.

Our modular wooden solution provides the world with tall towers that are not only close to climate neutral, but also stores CO2 during its lifetime. That’s why we’re confident that our patented, modular solution is the way for wind power to reach it’s full potential.
