Innovative design and construction of 220 m high wind turbine tower

Abstract This paper presents an innovative design and construction approach for a 220‐m‐high wind turbine tower, designed to meet the increasing demand for renewable energy and the specific needs of large‐scale wind energy projects. The design leverages a hybrid structural concept with a concrete foundation that supports three inclined legs and a composite concrete‐steel main tower, optimizing both structural stability and constructability. An analysis of various load conditions, including wind pressure, natural frequency, and the embodied CO 2 emissions of the structure, is conducted to ensure sustainable and efficient performance. The construction methodology utilizes modular, segmental assembly and advanced lifting techniques, allowing for effective installation. This approach also proposes an adaptation for a challenging environment, such as a deep offshore scenario, by introducing an innovative construction method with a floating system. The findings demonstrate the potential of this tower design to improve wind energy generation efficiency, reduce carbon footprint, and set a new benchmark for future large‐scale wind turbine projects.
