Numerical Study of the Effect of Unsteady Aerodynamic Forces on the Fatigue Load of Yawed Wind Turbines

The intentional yaw offset of wind turbines has shown potential to redirect wakes, enhancing overall plant power production, but it may increase fatigue loading on turbine components. This study analyzed fatigue loads on the NREL 5 MW reference wind turbine under varying yaw offsets using blade elem...
