Tower Design of WP 1.5 MW Baseline Turbine

Wind & Water Computer-Aided Engineering Software Tools

Hello,

Could you tell me what kind of tower is used with the WP 1.5 MW Baseline Turbine?

I need the values for Diameter, Thickness, Eigenfrequencies, assumed Youngs-modulus and if the thickness was increased to account for flanges and bolts, as was done for the 5 MW reference turbine.

Thanks and regards!

Simon

Dear Simon,

Most of these details of the tower for the WindPACT 1.5-MW baseline wind turbine are documented in the WindPACT Turbine Rotor Design Study Report: nrel.gov/docs/fy06osti/32495.pdf.

Best regards,
