Abstract

Wind turbine design is subject to load calculation standards. These determine material use which in turn affects wind turbine costs. Wind turbine cost reductions are important as they contribute to the economic feasibility of wind turbines. Therefore careful evaluation of the load standards is paramount for wind turbine design. This thesis offers an evaluation of 50-year ultimate load estimates described in the IEC 61400-1 standard and a tool for wind turbine designers to manage the estimates...
