[PDF] Design Issues of Wind Turbine Towers

https://bwk.kuleuven.be/apps/bwm/eurodyn2011/papers/MS08-761.pdf

1 INTRODUCTION With constantly increasing demand on renewable and clean energy, wind turbine design has advanced significantly in terms of its size and type. In accordance with such advance, the conventional conical steel tower, a predominant type of supporting structure, becomes so large that the transportation seems to be a major issue. As tower size and height increase continuously in years to come, it is a very costly process to transport the tower to construction site. While almost all modern turbine towers have a circular cross-section, a wind turbine tower with a square cross-section has been studied in this paper. To study the effect of tower thickness, stability, and stiffener requirements, wind turbine towers with different base and top dimensions having square cross-sections are analyzed. 2.2 Design Loads Rotor forces should be given by the manufacturer of the wind turbine according to which the wind turbine tower needs to be designed.

Regarding a Structural Model For a Wind Turbine Tower

# Regarding a Structural Model For a Wind Turbine Tower. I am a Masters student doing my thesis on wind turbine structural analysis, specifically on wind turbine towers. I obtained geometry from a wind farm operator for a 6 MW wind turbine tower. I started with a modal analysis, and I got the first side-to-side mode about 0.146 HZ while the one at the site is about 0.145 hZ, makes me think my model is somehow reasonable. I calculated the wind loads on the tower and for the blades I used the thrust force equation i.e. the actuator disk. The problem arises when i apply this thrust force as a point load on my wind turbine tower, as I get a deflection of about 2.5 meters, which is definietely not realisitic. Are you modeling a wind turbine that is similar to one of the reference wind turbines, such as the NREL 5-MW baseline wind turbine?
