Fatigue analysis for wind turbines is typically carried out in the time domain, using cycle counting techniques such as ASTM's Rainflow Cycle-Counting

For these reasons, the implementation of a fatigue monitoring system can be an important advantage for the management of wind farms, providing the following outputs: (i) estimation of the evolution of real fatigue condition; (ii) since the real condition of fatigue damage is known, these results could be an essential element for a decision about extending the lifespan of the structure and the possibility of repowering or overpowering; and (iii) the results of the instrumented wind turbines can be extrapolated to other wind turbines of the same wind farm. In general, two distinct approaches in fatigue analysis can be followed [4]: (a) use the cumulative fatigue damage to predict fatigue life, assuming that a failure occurs after a number of loading cycles at a particular tension/stress range; and (b) examine the fracture behavior of mechanical elements under dynamic loads and consider that a failure occurs if the remaining strength of the component is insufficient because of cracks that have grown to a critical length.
For each consecutive l0 minute period the following minimum set of parameters should be recorded: - Averaged wind speed at hub height - Turbulence intensity at hub height - Number of starts - Number of stops - Fault status at the end of the period - Basic statistics of the power output For a better environmental description of the duty cycle the pariuneters below can be included: - Duration of production operation - Number of starts of yaw drive - Duration of yawing - Basic statistics of the yaw error - Basic statistics of the pitch angle - Basic statistics of the vertical wind speed gradient - Basic statistics of the wind direction - Mean temperature and temperature gradient - Richardson number - Mean air pressure By the basic statistics we understand the mean value, the standard deviation and the minimum and the maximum recorded value.
In this paper fatigue reliability of main components in wind turbines in clusters is considered. The increase in turbulence intensity in wakes behind wind
