Vertical axis wind turbine tie-down design with an example
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5227743
Design of cable tie-down systems for vertical axis wind turbines is discussed and guidelines are furnished. Topics such as the number, size and material of the cables, cable elevation angle, tensioning, and thermoelastic effects are discussed in detail. The tie-down system of the existing Sandia 17 meter VAWT is used throughout as a numerical example.
