Abstract
This study is to propose the structural design and analysis procedure about composite blade and tower of vertical axis wind turbine technology. In this study, structural design of tower for vertical axis wind turbine was performed after vertical blade design and manufacturing. The structural design requirement and specification of blade and tower was investigated. After tower of structural design, the structural analysis of the tower was conducted by the finite element method. It was performed that the stress, deformation and natural frequency analysis at the applied loading. The design modification of tower configuration was proposed by structural analysis. It was confirmed that the final designed tower structure is safety through the structural analysis.
