* For design load case DLC 1.1, given that loads are determined using statistical load extrapolation at prescribed
wind speeds between V in and V out , the partial load factor for normal design situations shall be f =1,25.
If for normal design situations the characteristic value of the load response F gravity due to gravity can be calculated
for the design situation in question, and gravity is an unfavourable load, the partial load factor for combined loading
from gravity and other sources may have the value

f = 1, 1+ 2

Assessment of a wind turbine for sitespecific conditions

Two approaches:
a demonstration that all these conditions are no more severe than those
assumed for the design of the wind turbine;
a demonstration of the structural integrity for conditions, each equal to or
more severe than those at the site.
Site conditions:

Topographical complexity;
Wind conditions;
Air density;
Earthquake;
Electrical network conditions;
Soil conditions.

Assessment of the topographical complexity

of a site
To obtain the slope of the terrain, planes are defined that fit the terrain
within specific distances and sector amplitudes for all wind direction
sectors around the wind turbine and pass through the tower base. The
slope, used in Table 4, denotes the slopes of the different mean lines of
sectors passing through the tower bases and contained in the fitted
planes

The resolution of surface grids must not

exceed the smallest of 1.5 zhub and 100 m.
A complexity index ic is defined, such that ic
= 0 when less than 5 % of the energy
comes from complex sectors, and ic = 1
when more than 15 % of the energy comes
from complex sectors. In between ic varies
linearly.
