in static analysis on100m high steel tubular tower for wind turbine. then turbine mass will act at top of tower.my doubt is how much turbine mass will act on top of tower.(i want to apply turbine mass in the form of vertical load on top of tower). turbine capacity is 3MW.please give me approximate turbine mass value in the form of vertical loads.with reference.

Hi Md,
It looks like the weight of a nacelle (70 tons) and blade assembly (40 tons) for a Vestas V90 (3.0 MW tower) is 115 tons. This source sites a total weight including the tower itself as 267 tons.
