Wind Turbine Mechanical Load Measurements (Part 02 of 02) | KumsWind

This video explains about mechanical load measurements for wind turbines. It talks about the purpose, governing standard, instrumentation needed to perform the measurements, strain gauging technique, calibration of strain gauges, measurement of load cases (MLCs), capture matrices and analysis of the data to arrive the statistical load curves, equivalent load curves & power spectral densities. This video is part 02 of 02 videos pertaining to mechanical load measurements.
