Characterization of Oscillatory Response of Light-Weight Wind Turbine Rotors under Controlled Gust Pulses

Given the industry-wide trend of continual increases in the size of utility-scale wind turbines, a point will come where reductions will need to be made in terms of the weight of the turbine’s blades to ensure they can be as long as needed without sacrificing structural stability. One such technique...
