This paper investigates the aeroelastic behaviour of a full wind turbine model with realistic blade vibration amplitude (9% span) using a nonlinear frequency-domain solution method. The primary objective is to demonstrate the computational efficiency of this method for an aeroelastic analysis compared to resource-intensive time-domain approaches. The frequency-domain method was then validated against a conventional time-domain method, comparing aerodynamic damping and unsteady pressure distributions, with strong agreement observed. Results show a more complex unsteady pressure distribution at 324.5 RPM compared to 424.5 RPM, directly affecting aerodynamic damping. Aeroelastic analyses of a wind turbine with a relatively large amplitude blade structural oscillation at different rotational speeds are performed using the nonlinear frequency-domain method in this paper.
A nonlinear aeroelastic model based on quasi-steady theory and a linearized version are used for time and frequency domain simulations,

American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics 1 Aeroelastic Modeling of Large Offshore Vertical-axis Wind Turbines: Development of the Offshore Wind Energy Simulation Toolkit Brian C. Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are potentially ideal candidates for offshore applications, with many apparent advantages over the horizontal-axis wind turbine configuration in the offshore arena. Thus, the Offshore Wind ENergy Simulation (OWENS) toolkit is being developed as a design tool for assessing innovative floating VAWT configurations. Verification and validation exercises are discussed, and comparisons to experimental data for the Sandia National Laboratories 34-meter VAWT test bed are presented. A discussion and demonstration of a “loose” coupling approach to external loading modules, which allows a greater degree of modularity, is given. Results for a realistic VAWT structure on a floating platform under aerodynamic loads are shown and coupling between platform and turbine motions is demonstrated. Analysis results for a realistic VAWT structure under aerodynamic loads for fixed and floating foundations are presented and the coupling between VAWT and platform motions is demonstrated.
