A proposed typhoon resistant design of a wind turbine tower in the Philippines

The Philippines is essentially a typhoon-prone area which poses a threat to the structural integrity of wind turbines. Due to this scenario, the authors classified the country’s wind climate according to the IEC classes. The generalized extreme value distribution was used to model the extreme wind s...
