Evaluation of a Blade Force Measurement System for a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Using Load Cells

Unique blade force measurements on an open site straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine have been performed. This paper presents a method for measuring the tangential and normal forces on a 12-kW vertical axis wind turbine prototype with a three-bladed H-rotor. Four single-axis load cells were in...
