Abstract

In order to optimize the design value methodology for wind turbine extreme gust amplitudes, the compilation illustrations and references of IEC 61400-1 extreme gust amplitudes（EOG, EDC, ECD and EWS）were investigated. First, the theoretical basis of the IEC 61400-1 extreme gust amplitude calculation was examined. Subsequently, the refined approaches were proposed, incorporating wind turbine reliability considerations to optimize gust amplitude estimation. These advanced methodologies account for site-specific factors, including wind farm topography, turbulence spectrum, annual wind speed distribution, and shutdown frequencies, thereby enabling a more precise and theoretically justified reduction in gust amplitude predictions. To validate the proposed methods, a case study was conducted using physical data from a wind farm in northern China. As the results, compared to the conventional IEC 61400-1 approach, the gust amplitude obtained by these refined methods in this study can decrease the amplitude of the critical wind speed range by up to 30%.
