    The structure below the generator of a wind turbine that supports the turbine, houses the meters and wires, and keeps the turbine high above the ground level to protect the surrounding area and people from the force of the blades. The base also serves to elevate the turbine above surrounding obstacles that could otherwise block the wind.
