Abstract

This paper presents numerical model of the guyed mast designed for small wind turbine. The mast structure was designed for 3.5 kW wind turbine. Main assumption during design stage was to minimize manufacturing and installation costs. The Authors present methodology used for evaluation of loads and boundary conditions, constitutive models and solution method. Results are discussed and conclusions are presented. Also suggestions for further study are included.
