The aim is to analyze the effective gust buffeting response of a wind turbine tower under different wind conditions to test analytical models against actual measurements.
Full-scale measurements of wind and structural response from a 116 m tall wind turbine tower.
Utilization of strain gauges and accelerometers for capturing bending moments and structural dynamics.
Comparison of wind data with theoretical models using statistical assessments like turbulence intensity and coherence function.
The along-wind response is accurately predicted by existing theory, especially under high estimated structural damping.
Across-wind responses showed significant deviation from pure gust buffeting, especially under higher wind velocities.
Mild wind conditions were not well described by design standards, highlighting the need for model adjustments.
