Global Gust Climate Evaluation and Its Influence on Wind Turbines

Global Gust Climate Evaluation and Its Influence on Wind Turbines

Strong gusts negatively affect wind turbines in many ways. They (1) harm their structural safety; (2) reduce their wind energy output; and (3) lead to a shorter wind turbine rotor blade fatigue life. Therefore, the goal of this study was to provide a global assessment of the gust climate, considerin...
