The structural dynamics and response of a two-bladed downwind wind turbine configuration using a tilt control concept is examined based on Computational Structural Dynamics (CSD) analysis. Nacelle tilt angles of 5, 20, 35, 50 and 65 degrees are investigated based on varying wind speeds in order to achieve the same rated power output. Yaw angles of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 degrees are examined with the purpose of comparing structural loads and displacements between two control methods. The computed load effects reveal that the tower top and base shear forces are reduced significantly using the nacelle tilt control compared with the yaw control method. The shear forces and bending moments at the blade root also show favorable outcomes at most nacelle tilt angles except for 65 degrees.
