In order to realize the buckling strength design for the opening door of the large-scale horizontal axis wind turbine tower, the method combined with the engineering method and the FEM was presented. The FE model of the door was established. The first-order buckling eigenvalues and buckling modes for three different structures were calculated and analyzed. Based on engineering method, the stress and buckling strength for the sections of tubular tower were obtained. Corrected by FEM results, the tower door with opening buckling strength were checked by engineering method. The results were compared with those by FEM. The safe design structure anti-buckling were presented. The method presented in this paper is feasible and effective for the opening door design in large-scale horizontal axis wind turbine tower.

The paper uses the finite element software ANSYS to establish a 1.5 MW horizontal-axis wind turbine tower model as an example and works on the modal analysis. The modal analysis takes into account the totalmass of wind rotor and nacelle and assumes the bottom of the wind turbine tower is fully constrained. The result shows that the natural frequency of the 1.5MW wind turbine tower is not coincident with the excitation frequency of the wind turbine, and the wind turbine can operate stably at the design condition.
