This　paper　proposed　a　novel　amplifying　damping　transfer　system　(ADTS)　as　a　new　damping　enhancement　solution　for　high-rise　structures　like　wind　turbines.　The　proposed　ADTS　can　transfer　the　upper　rotation　of　turbine　tower　to　its　bottom　with　damping　amplification　mechanism.　Hence,　viscous　damper　can　be　installed　on　wind　turbines　in　a　very　convenient　and　efficient　way.　The　dynamic　characteristics　of　wind　turbines　equipped　with　ADTS　were　parametrically　investigated　concerning　the　influence　of　the　damping,　stiffness,　and　position　of　the　ADTS　based　on　complex　frequency　analysis.　It　was　found　that　each　mode　has　a　maximum　damping　ratio,　which　is　affected　by　the　ADTS　stiffness　and　position.　The　optimal　ADTS　position　of　the　first　mode　is　about　0.7H　(turbine　height),　and　the　optimal　positions　of　the　second　mode　are　at　0.3H　and　0.86H.　The　proposed　ADTS　considerably　attenuated　both　drift　and　acceleration　responses　of　wind　turbines　caused　by　winds　and　earthquakes.　For　example,　as　compared　to　the　optimized　tuned　mass　damper,　ADTS　further　decreases　the　displacement　(acceleration)　of　wind　turbine　tower　by　about　22%　(38%).
