Damage Simulation of Wind Turbine Tower and Effects on Modal Parameters

Abstract

Renewable energy is valued worldwide, natural resources are finite and CO2 emissions are accelerating global warming. The wind energy farm is seen as a viable renewable energy source in Mongolia since the country's unique topography makes wind energy feasible. Mongolia has various wind energy farms, which follow the global trend. The wind turbine tower, which is typically slender, is regularly subjected to high wind loads and is vulnerable to a variety of hazards. Because the breakdown of a wind turbine tower causes the entire turbine to collapse, it is critical to identify any expected tower damages and their impacts on structural soundness in advance so that the structure's owner can take measurements to prevent additional damage.
