Abstract
The following report gives the reader an overview of and instruction on the proper use of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory Force and Loads Analysis Program (FLAP, version 2.2). It is intended as a tool for prediction of rotor and blade loads and response for two- or three-bladed rigid hub wind turbines. The effects of turbulence are accounted for. The ability to include turbulent windeffects is perhaps the biggest change in the code since the release of FLAP version 2.01 in 1988.
