Reinforcement system for wind turbine tower

摘要

A reinforcement system (50) and a method for reinforcing a tower (12) of a wind turbine (10) are disclosed. The method includes providing a tower (12), the tower (12) comprising at least one generally cylindrical tower section (20), the at least one tower section (20) having an exterior wall (22) and an interior wall (24) defming a height (26) and a thickness (28) therebetween. The method further includes performing a structural analysis of the tower (12) to identify potential load limiting locations and, after performing the structural analysis, mounting at least one reinforcing member (60) to the interior wall (24) of the at least one tower section (20) to reinforce the at least one tower section (20) at the potential load limiting locations.
