The wind turbine tower is fixed on the ground and subject to the loads from wind, the turbine, self-weight, and internal fixture as shown in Figure 1 Objective Project I seeks to design wind turbine towers using optimization concepts and Microsoft Excel's optimization capabilities. Tr Figure 1. Assumed tower loading Design procedures The general methodology used to transcribe the design of wind turbine towers into an optimization problem includes: I) Collecting infomation on design requirements and parameter values 2) Deciding how to analyze the structure: ) Formulating the optimization problem Implementation using Microsoft Excel.
