Abstract: A subsection of a tower section comprises a shell segment of the tower section and at least a longitudinal flange mounted to a longitudinal side of the shell segment for connecting to a longitudinal flange of a further subsection of the tower section. Here, the longitudinal flange comprises a part of a surface contour extending from a contact surface of the longitudinal flange which is provided for a connection to a longitudinal flange of a further subsection to a connecting surface connected to the shell segment. The part of the surface contour comprises a distance to a contacting plane passing through the contact surface.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments concern a wind turbine having a horizontal axis and at least one rotor blade, which in regular operation at a wind speed of more than 4 m/s always comprises a static thrust coefficient cS of less than 0.8. The wind turbine is designed for a design turbulence intensity, corresponding to the definition of the characteristic value of turbulence intensity I15 at 15 m/s according to IEC 61400-1, Edition 2, of more than 18% and less than 26%. It may thus be possible to achieve an improved utilisation of space.
