  1. R. Lynette and Associates, Redmond, WA (United States)

This paper will present a selection of fatigue loads measurements from the AWT-26 wind turbine. The fatigue loads presented will be stratified by wind speed and turbulence intensity. Corresponding fatigue predictions will be presented, giving an indication of the sensitivity of fatigue life to the turbine operating wind speed and turbulence intensity. Some comparisons will be made between the design load cases used (based on preliminary testing) and the loads measurements taken from the prototype wind turbine.
