Design and Optimization of 150 m Higher Wind Monitoring Tower (Indian Condition)

In order to locate a 150m wind monitoring tower to measure the wind characteristics, we investigated the site near Paradip, Odisha (India) to locate wind tower and collected some wind data to incorporate into the design of tubular steel tower. This paper seeks to understand the design of tubular steel tower and its performance parameter up to 150m height, also it provides the stability analysis such as static, buckling and vibration using computer optimized approach. The main objective of this paper is to explore more wind potential by measuring the wind data at 150m height and to locate a safe and economic tower at this location, it will produce more power output and would boost the economy of India in a very rapid manner which is the current major issue of our society.
