    The document provides a formula to calculate the required thickness (t) of the skirt of a wind turbine tower. The formula considers the moment (MT) at the skirt of the head joint, the outside radius (R) and stress value (S) of the skirt material, and the weight (W) of the tower above the skirt to the head joint under operating conditions. It also includes constants for the outside diameter (D) and efficiency (E) of the skirt to head joint connection. The document then provides an example calculation of t considering weight and wind loads separately, and their total, for two sets of parameter values.
