The nonlinear effects of dynamic and aerodynamic imbalance on the harmonic and chaotic motion of a horizontal axis wind turbine

This investigation explores the dynamic and aerodynamic effects of imbalance on the motion of a horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT). The nonlinear dynamic equations describing the motion of a HAWT with both static and dynamic imbalance are derived and investigated. A perturbation scheme is developed...
