An ICH RC (internally confined hollow reinforced concrete) tower for supporting 5.0MW wind turbine was developed and its standard sections were designed. It was found that ICH RC wind tower is satisfied with maximum 200% bigger moment which is required for pre-existing steel tower. Also, the results from the FAST showed that 5.0MW turbine can be normally operated with the ICH RC tower.

A standard design section of a FRP DSCT wind power tower supporting 3MW was suggested and designed through AutoDSCT and CoWiTA programs. The thicknesses of the FRP tubes were optimized and by using the parameters of designed tower, the performance of the new type wind tower was evaluated via FAST program.
