Abstract

To address the fatigue damage induced by wind on the wind turbine tower, the present work introduces a novel probabilistic fatigue assessment framework. The idea is based on the deterministic fatigue approach combining with various statistical and probabilistic techniques. The proposed framework is applied to a Design Load Case (DLC) given in IEC 61400-1 standard using a reference wind turbine and carry out a probability distribution of cumulative fatigue damage on the cross-section of wind turbine tower under a turbulent wind condition.
