ABSTRACT

As a new type of wind turbine foundation, the prestressed concrete tower turbine foundation has been applied in engineering practices, but there is still room for optimizing them. Based on an actual wind power project, this paper proposes directions to save materials and optimize design, including the size of the annular overhang structure of the foundation and the arrangement of rebars. This paper also provides calculation, comparison, and analysis with the foundation model optimized by the finite element software ABAQUS, intending to provide a reference for the future design of concrete tower turbine foundations.
