Finite Element Analysis of Wind Turbine Tower

Abstract:

In this paper, it was analyzed and summarized about load character, load calculation methods of wind turbine tower. A calculation for cone tower of 1.5MW wind turbine is taken as an example of finite element analysis, its static characteristic are given as well. It presents the maximum displacement and the corresponding maximum stress, and the strength of the tower is also calculated under various loads. The results show that: the finite element model is feasible in engineering application, the strength of tower under static load meet the requirements, will not occur strength failure.
