Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. ## Degree Level. Historical wind turbine data shows that the tower hub height to rotor diameter ratio scales almost linearly. This study addresses this question by using an Excel based optimization program to determine the height to diameter ratio of a simulated turbine with the lowest cost of energy. Using a wind turbine power curve database and previous scaling relationships/cost models, the optimum hub height to rotor diameter ratio is predicted. The results of this simulation show that current cost and scaling models do not reflect an accurate optimum height to diameter ratio. However, these cost and scaling models can be modified to provide more accurate predictions of the optimum hub height for a given rotor diameter. *Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses* Retrieved from https://scholarworks.uark.edu/meeguht/70.

Journal of Energy and Power Technology. *Journal of Energy and Power Technology* focuses on all aspects of energy and power. *Journal of Energy and Power Technology (JEPT)* is an international peer-reviewed **Open Access** journal published quarterly online by LIDSEN Publishing Inc. This periodical is dedicated to providing a unique, peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary platform for researchers, scientists and engineers in academia, research institutions, government agencies and industry. The journal is also of interest to technology developers, planners, policy makers and technical, economic and policy advisers to present their research results and findings. This research demonstrates implementation of Taguchi Design of Experiment (DoE) in conjunction with Signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) to optimise both structural design parameters and material cost of a 90 m tower of a standard 5 MW WT tower subjected to adverse wind conditions. Model 1, made of steel grade S275, 95 mm wall thickness and 0.45 top-to-bottom diameter ratio, is found optimal.
This paper proposes a two-level optimization criterion method for the optimal design of steel conical tower considering different structural reliability and
