Investigation of Site-Specific Wind Field Parameters and Their Effect on Loads of Offshore Wind Turbines

The main contributing factors to unsteady loading of Offshore Wind Turbines (OWT) are wind shear, turbulence, and waves. In the present paper, the turbulence intensity and the wind shear exponent are investigated. Using data from the FINO 1 research platform, these parameters are analyzed and compar...
