Preliminary Results from the Dynamic Response Testing of the Northern Power Systems 100-kW Wind Turbine

    Research output: NRELTechnical Report

    Abstract

    The Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI), in cooperation with Northern Power Systems (NPS), conducted a series of dynamic response tests on the NPS 100kW Wind Turbine as part of the Department of Energy's ( DOE) Cooperative Field Test Program. This paper presents a preliminary rev1ew of the test data, including average and cyclic machine response characteristics. The mean turbine operatingconditions are analyzed as a function of mean wind speed and rotor azimuth position using the method of bins. Rotor bending loads are also presented in the frequency domain to investigate the relative effects of low- and high-frequency wind turbulence.
