Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a method for determining loads on wind turbines. The method includes creating a grid structure with grid points from randomly varied wind conditions as parameters, the wind conditions including one or more of a turbulence, a turbulence intensity, and a wind shear, performing load simulation of a wind turbine for each of the grid points, providing a prediction model for predicting loads based on wind conditions, training the prediction model based on the load simulation for each of the grid points, and determining the loads for any combination of wind conditions using the prediction model.
