Popis: The commitments by the governments for the net zero emissions for the coming decades will be a huge challenge for the renewable sector all over the planet. Wind energy will play a significant role in this transition and scale-up, in both offshore and onshore, is a crucial step to move forward. The quick development of the new onshore wind turbine models in the race for the most powerful machine, the gradual increase in the hub height, and the unitary power of the new onshore wind turbines are producing modifications in different components of the turbines. This work presents a review of the onshore wind turbines foundations, especially about the different foundation design concepts available in the onshore business, the analysis of some of them and the trends.
