Aerodynamic and structural evaluation of horizontal axis wind turbines with rated power over 1 MW

An aeromechanical evaluation of large (over 1 Mw of nominal power) Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWT’s) is performed is this paper. The strategy is based on the combination of an aerodynamic module, which provides the three-dimensional pressure distribution on the HAWT’s blades, an a structural mo...
