Faculty Aerospace Engineering Department Aerodynamics, Wind Energy & Propulsion Date 2015-09-23 Abstract An important problem that arises during the design of wind turbines is estimating extreme loads with sufficient accuracy. This is especially difficult during iterative design phases when computational resources are scarce. Over the years, many methods have been proposed to extrapolate extreme load distributions from relatively short time series with “mean turbulence”. In this work, however, we focus on finding the response to extreme gusts based on the ability to generate conditional turbulent wind fields. Load distributions can then be constructed on the basis of a Monte Carlo method with importance sampling.
