Using wind speed from a blade-mounted flow sensor for power and load assessment on modern wind turbines

In this paper an alternative method to evaluate power performance and loads on wind turbines using a blade-mounted flow sensor is investigated. The hypothesis is that the wind speed measured at the blades has a high correlation with the power and loads such that a power or load assessment can be...
