[0002] As the height of wind power resource development space and the capacity of units increase day by day, the problems of excessive dynamic response and insufficient stability under wind load have gradually become the main factors restricting the application of traditional tubular steel tower structures in tall wind turbine tower systems. An assembled cavity steel-concrete composite structure wind turbine tower is composed of hollow steel and concrete. After the side limbs of the steel cavity are welded into a whole in the factory, concrete is poured inside the cavity to form a prefabricated component. The steel cavity and core concrete of this structural system provide effective constraints and support to each other, enhance the stability of the steel plate, and then give full play to the material properties of steel and concrete. The structure has high bearing capacity, good rigidity, and is easy to construct, which is suitable for the characteristics of remote areas where wind power projects are generally located.

At the same time, because the force on the upper part of the tower is relatively small, traditional steel round tubes can be used to save costs. Therefore, the hybrid wind turbine tower composed of a combination of a cavity steel-concrete wind turbine tower and a steel tower is a more reasonable and economical wind turbine tower structure system. However, wind turbines are subjected to large wind loads all year round, and the construction environment of wind power projects is harsh. The strength, rigidity, reliability and installation convenience of the connection scheme between the cavity steel-concrete wind turbine tower and the steel tower are high.
