Abstract: It is very common among wind turbines of all designs that a spectral analysis of operating variables, such as yaw motion, torque, or electrical power output has a large concentration of ...

Abstract: In this paper the concept of a fractal and its dimension is presented. The fractal dimension of the horizontal component of several wind speed time series is determined by the variation method. ...

Abstract: In this note the differences between static and dynamic balancing of a wind turbine rotor are addressed. The paper begins with a definition of each type of balancing. It is demonstrated that ...

Abstract: The response of a single inclined rotating hot wire anemometer was analyzed. The mean flow anemometer response equation was expanded in a Fourier Series about the fundamental frequency of ...

Abstract: In this paper, alternative approaches for synthetically generating a wind speed time series are discussed. These approaches include: (1) the use of independent values from a specific probability ...
