Rotationally sampled wind data and the NASA Interim Turbulence Model were used to develop inputs for DYLOSAT (a comprehensive aeroelastic computer program) to predict cyclic structural loads on the Mod-2 wind turbine. Theoretically predicted loads were calculated in the time and frequency domains. The frequency domain results from the NASA Interim Turbulence Model were compared with experimentally measured loads at rotor stations 370 and 1164. The results are shown as bar charts of cyclic loads versus rotor speed harmonics and as total rms loads. Predicted loads using the rotationally sampled wind time histories as input to DYLOSAT are compared with load test data at rotor stations 370 and 1164 and tower station 600. The spectral content of the time histories is also presented.
