Modal Analysis of the 1.5MW Wind Turbine Tower

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper uses the finite element software ANSYS to establish a 1.5 MW horizontal-axis wind turbine tower model as an example and works on the modal analysis. The modal analysis takes into account the totalmass of wind rotor and nacelle and assumes the bottom of the wind turbine tower is fully constrained. The result shows that the natural frequency of the 1.5MW wind turbine tower is not coincident with the excitation frequency of the wind turbine, and the wind turbine can operate stably at the design condition.
