Short summary

A reliable load history is crucial for a fatigue assessment of wind turbines. However, installing strain sensors to measure the load history on every wind turbine is not economically feasible. In this paper, a technique is proposed to reconstruct the thrust load history of a wind turbine based on high-frequency SCADA data and a trained neural network. Both simulated and real-world results show the potential of high-frequency SCADA for thrust load reconstruction.
