Short summary
We analyzed the reliability of wind turbine blade bearings under extreme turbulence wind conditions to improve their safety and performance. Using simulations, we studied how factors like turbulence and design variations affect failure probability. Our findings show that current standards may underestimate these risks and highlight the need for stricter controls on critical design parameters.
