In order to investigate the typhoon-resistance of wind turbines with different towers, four wind turbine integration models with different forms of towers were built by Abaqus finite element software and Autoregressive (AR) model was used to simulate the fluctuating wind for modal analyses and typhoon time-history analyses. The results show that the natural frequencies of wind turbines are greatly affected by wind rotor and nacelle. When the typhoon wind speed increases, the maximum along-wind displacement of the steel conical-cylindrical tower climbs linearly, while those of the other 3 tower...
