Abstract

Large wind turbines face more intricate atmospheric conditions with turbulent coherent structures sized similarly to the rotor diameter, posing loading challenges. The present study assesses twelve distinct wind fields using the Large Eddy Simulations (LES) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Kaimal model scaled to their LES counterpart. The hub height wind speed in the different cases was set to 8.5m/s (below-rated), 11.5m/s (at-rated), and 14.5m/s (above-rated).
