Estimation of blade loads for a variable pitch Vertical Axis Wind Turbine with strain gage measurements

Abstract The blade pitch of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine can have a profound impact on the aerodynamic loading experienced by the turbine. This in turn impacts the structural loads and the performance of the machine. In order to characterize the effects of changing pitch, studies are conducted with...
