Abstract

The main purpose of this contribution is to provide a basic understanding of the fundamental interaction mechanism between the wind flow and the wind turbine, responsible for the power generation, as well as for the aerodynamic and inertial loading of the machine. A specific focus will be given at this proposal to the role of the control laws by which the turbine is operated, in determining both the performance as well as the structural loading of the machinery.
