FE-simulated bearing load distributions for different load cases of the IWT7.5 turbine

Abstract

This dataset contains the bearing load distributions of different load cases of a third rotor star FE-model of the IWES Wind Turbine 7.5, which is a 7.5 MW nearshore turbine model. Using combinations of the resulting blade moment, the angle of said moment, and the pitch angle of the blade, a total of 260 simulations were FE simulated. These simulations were performed for the publication "Fatigue lifetime calculation of wind turbine blade bearings considering blade-dependent load distribution" in the Wind Energy Science Journal.
