Shake Table Test of a 65 kW Wind Turbine and Computational Simulation
Abstract eng: This paper presents the experimental results from an initial series of full scale shake table tests of a 65kW wind turbine with a 23 m hub height. Using the experimental results, a calibrated finite element model was developed to investigate and highlight salient characteristics of the wind turbine’s seismic response. The model was subjected to a number of earthquake records from California. Five high-intensity historical input ground motions, which produced significant response in the turbine, were used to investigate the difference in seismic demand of a parked turbine for uni-axial and bi-directional excitation scenarios. The experimental data and simulation results shed light on the basic seismic response characteristics of wind turbines similar to that tested.
