Cement-Made Wind Turbines Help Certain Areas in Iran to Generate Energy
The Iran-made cement wind turbine generates electricity without expensive foreign equipment, and it is simple and durable, and can be built in any ordinary workshop.
“These types of turbines, which are the result of 12 years of research and development, unlike conventional turbines, rotate with minimal wind by eliminating excess weight and using a gravity-based design,” said Morteza Chabok, the manager of this renewable energy project.
“The project was implemented in Zabol city in Sistan and Balouchestan province with private sector investment and has yielded very promising results,” he added.
“The first model of this turbine was installed in the village of Chekel and has so far attracted a lot of attention,” Chabok said.
In 2024, the biggest wind power station in the Eastern part of Iran has been inaugurated in Sistan and Baluchistan province with a capacity of 50 megawatts which contains twenty 2.5-MW wind turbines.
According to a report by Iran’s Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization based in Tehran, in a ceremony attended by the Iranian energy minister Ali Akbar Mehrabian, the largest wind farm in the Eastern part of Iran was inaugurated. The farm was built with an investment of 56.5 million euros.
Mil Nader Wind Power Plant has a capacity of 50 MW and includes twenty 2.5-MW Type-2 wind turbines. The construction work of the power plant started in 2020 and after carrying out construction operations, transferring the equipment to the site and installing them, it was inaugurated in the presence of the energy minister.
The station is built in an area over nearly 1000 hectares in Nimruz County in the northwest of Zabul County in Sistan and Baluchistan province.
With this power plant, more than 250 million liters of water and 30 million liters of diesel will be saved annually as a result of every 100 megawatts of renewable energy production. The turbines used in the farm are suitable for high wind speeds and are equipped to operate in high temperatures and dust storms with the implementation of the latest changes to them.
