This study demonstrates an application of a previously proposed modal and wavelet
analysis-based damage identification method to a wind turbine blade. A trailing edge …

An efficient modelling methodology for steady-state operating wind turbines is proposed,
combining aerodynamic decoupling, multi-blade coordinate transformation, and modal …

The wind energy industry has been growing rapidly during the past decades. Along with this
growth, engineering problems have gradually emerged in the wind power industry, including …

Structural damage of a rotor blade causes structural anisotropy of the rotor. In rotor dynamic,
the anisotropy affects the symmetry of the rotor mode shapes, and the latter can be utilized to …

Structural health monitoring on wind turbine blades is a great enhancement for operational
safety and failure avoidance. Blade deflection is a key parameter, which is a function of …

In this paper, subspace identification for wind turbines and more generally rotating periodic
systems are investigated. Previous works have stressed the difficulty of modeling such …

Abstract Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) identifies modal properties of mechanical
structures from vibration data collected from a few sensors under operation conditions …

Today, structural integrity inspections of wind turbine blades are typically carried out by the
use of rope or platform access. Since these inspection approaches are both tedious and …

This chapter is divided into three parts; the problem, possible solutions and the chosen
option to address the problem, which is my PhD topic within the project MAREWINT. So …

Today, design of wind turbines is extensively done by the implementation of numerical
models. These models simulate the dynamic behaviour of full-scale wind turbines which …
