The Design Guideline 03 (DG03) published by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in 2009 is widely used in the wind industry. It allows engineers to get acquainted with design aspects and methodologies to determine pitch and yaw bearing static capacity and fatigue life. The combination of the detailed theoretical descriptions and practical examples makes it a highly application-oriented document. Since its publication, the knowledge about oscillating bearings, slewing bearings, and wind turbines has grown significantly. Some aspects of the DG03 need updates to reflect the current state of the art. This work covers proposed changes for an upcoming revision of DG03.
