...Henrik Stensgaard Toft; John Dalsgaard Sørensen; Dick Veldkamp In the present paper, methods for statistical load extrapolation of wind-turbine response are studied using a stationary Gaussian process model, which has approximately the same spectral properties as the response for the out-of-plane...

...Anand Natarajan; William E. Holley Extrapolation of extreme loads using turbulent wind samples of various mean speeds and random starting points is addressed using probability distribution functions that are suitably distorted to fit the peak extremes. The tail of the extreme value distribution...

...Korn Saranyasoontorn; Lance Manuel When interest is in establishing ultimate design loads for wind turbines such that a service life of, say, 20 years is assured, alternative procedures are available. One class of methods works by employing statistical loads extrapolation techniques following...

...Patrick J. Moriarty; William E. Holley, Consultant,; Sandy Butterfield The effect of varying turbulence levels on long-term loads extrapolation techniques was examined using a joint probability density function of both mean wind speed and turbulence level for loads calculations. The turbulence...
