Short summary
Numerical models used to analyze wind turbines are based on thousands of input parameters. Each of these parameters has uncertainty, which can impact the predicted loads. This work demonstrates a screening technique to identify which parameters ultimate loads are most sensitive to so that more focus can be given to quantifying the possible range of those parameters, with a focus on a floating offshore wind turbine in design load cases with transient events both in the inflow and operations.
