Wind turbine assembly with tower mount

摘要

A wind turbine assembly is configured for standing on a foundation. The wind turbine assembly includes a wind turbine generator (105), and a tower (102) having an upper end and a lower end. The tower (102) is configured to support the wind turbine generator (105) generally adjacent the upper end of the tower (102). The wind turbine assembly also includes a tower mount (127) for supporting the tower (102). The tower mount (127) has an upper end (128) and a lower end (130). The upper end (128) of the tower mount (127) is connectable with the lower end of the tower (102) and the lower end (130) of the tower mount is mountable on the foundation to secure the wind turbine assembly on the foundation. The tower mount (127) is tubular and has a height and an outer transverse cross-sectional dimension that is substantially greater than the height of the tower mount. The tower mount (127) includes a plurality of circumferential segments (135) that are connectable in generally end-to-end relationship to form the tubular tower mount (127).
