Short summary
Various simulation tools exist to provide load forecasts in the wind energy field (engineering models and numerical simulations). A newly introduced concept is the center of wind pressure, a quantity extracted from a wind field. In previous works, similar behaviour, then the main shaft bending moments, was shown. However, a clear relationship is missing. In this work, this gap is filled through the introduction of a calibration parameter.
