Motivations for Research• Coincidence of wind
resource and seismic hazard– Pacific Rim: US West
Coast, Japan, China, etc
– Mediterranean: Greece, Turkey, etc
• Require combined wind, operational, and seismic load case

In-Situ Vibration Experiments• 900 kW NEG Micon• 2 hours of data while
operating• 46 hours of parked data• Tower and surrounding soil
instrumented• Forced vibration up to 15 Hz• Data recorded while rotor and
gearbox were removed• Wind speed and operational
data recorded simultaneously with vibration data

Shake Table Testing• Dense instrumentation
with in- and out-of-plane components
• Input motions in two perpendicular orientations relative to nacelle
• Input motions in operational and parked conditions

Shake Table Testing: Outcomes• Experimental validation of operational effects
and accurate simulation in using updates to NREL code for turbines
![Page 13: NEESR-II: A Seismic Study of Wind Turbines for Renewable Energy Ian Prowell Presenter, Graduate Student Researcher PI: Prof. Ahmed Elgamal Co-PI:Prof](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea35503460f94ba7e3d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Overall Project Outcomes• Numerous publications sharing results• Provide valuable experimental evidence
supporting seismic behavior of wind turbines• Field work and shake table tests provide
basis for applying results across entire range of existing turbines
• Contributed and validated updates to NREL simulation code for turbines to simulate combined earthquake, operational, and wind loads
• Project personnel provided guidance on seismic loads in development of forthcoming AWEA/ASCE turbine permitting guidelines
