Abstract

A wind turbine assembly is configured for standing on a foundation. The wind turbine assembly includes a wind turbine generator, and a tower having an upper end and a lower end. The tower is configured to support the wind turbine generator generally adjacent the upper end of the tower. The wind turbine assembly also includes a tower mount for supporting the tower. The tower mount has an upper end and a lower end. The upper end of the tower mount is connectable with the lower end of the tower and the lower end of the tower mount is mountable on the foundation to secure the wind turbine assembly on the foundation. The tower mount 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 includes a plurality of circumferential segments that are connectable in generally end-to-end relationship to form the tubular tower mount.
