Tie-down cable selection and initial tensioning for the Sandia 17-meter vertical-axis wind turbine
The rationale used for selection of tie-down cables for the Sandia 17-meter turbine is presented, discussed and implemented. The effect of initial cable tension on the response of the tie-down system is evaluated and discussed in terms of resulting sag, blade interference and response linearity.
