Estimation of wind misalignment and vertical shear from blade loads

This paper describes the formulation and verification of a novel observer of wind parameters. The general idea behind the proposed approach is to consider the wind turbine rotor as an anemometer. In fact, the rotor responds to varying wind conditions; by properly interpreting this response, one can indirectly measure some desired wind characteristics, as for example yaw and shear, as described here.
