Abstract: A Draft 'Technical Report' has been prepared by a group of experts (WG11)under IEC TC88, specifying methods and techniques for the experimental determination of mechanical loads on wind turbines. The draft standard will be subject to comments and voting in 1999. The present paper presents the work of WG11 and highlights the philosophy and methodology recommended in the report for the execution and analysis of mechanical load measurements in view of wind turbine design. 6 refs.
