Site-specific analysis of on wind turbines in complex terrain: A case study
Other conference contribution, 2021

This study aims to analyse and understand how the structural and drivetrain loads on the turbines can vary within a wind farm situated in a complex terrain. To this end, the flow field is studied using computational fluid and aero-elastic simulations and   a modified version of the FAST software is used to determine the turbine response Verification of the numerical results is performed by using data from turbine SCADA system for a case study of Röbergsfjället wind farm with 8 turbines located in the mid-western part of Sweden.
