To create a clean energy environment for the future found to be as one of the great challenges of our time. However, there are multiple challenges associated with extending the currently used 262-ft (80-m) tall tubular steel towers to greater elevations. In order to locate a 150m wind monitoring tower to measure the wind characteristics, we investigated the site near Paradip, Odisha (India) to locate wind tower and collected some wind data to incorporate into the design of tubular steel tower. The main objective of this work is to explore more wind potential by measuring the wind data at 150m height and to locate a safe and economic tower at this location, it will produce more power output and would boost the economy of India in a very rapid manner which is the current major issue of our society. Additionally, this research expands on the work of previous researchers to study how considering the tower and foundation as an integral system, where tower support conditions are not perfectly rigid, affects the optimal design.
