Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023275153A1] The invention relates to a tower-like structure for a wind turbine designed in particular as an offshore structure, said tower-like structure comprising at least one lower component designed in particular as a monopile and one upper component designed in particular as a transition piece which is in part placed over the lower component to form a slip joint, the upper and the lower component each having a conical component section, and the upper and the lower component each having at least one further component section which jointly forms the slip joint and which, when viewed transversely with respect to a central longitudinal axis of the structure, is located above and/or below the conical component section, the surface perpendiculars of said further component sections intersecting the longitudinal axis at an angle (α) greater than the surface perpendiculars of the conical component section. The invention also relates to: a method for manufacturing a tower-like structure, wherein at least some of the connecting elements are injection-moulded or cast onto the lower and/or the upper component; and a wind turbine, in particular an offshore wind turbine.
