Abstract
The chapter load measurements on wind turbines of the Aerodynamic Handbook gives an overview of different direct and indirect methods of measuring physical quantities on wind turbines. It focuses on a practical realization in an in situ environment and points out some dos and don’ts.
Especially scientist and students with rather office-based conditions of work should get an impression of the options and challenges that may present themselves when taking field measurements.
