Abstract
The horizontal axis wind turbines are operated under skew inflow condition and it has tilt angle to keep the distance between tower and blade tip. Therefore, it is important to analyze the forces and moment of rotor with yawed and tilted inflow condition. In this study, the wind turbine was placed with yaw miss alignment or changing the distance between tower and rotor in a wind tunnel. Through measuring the forces and moments of HAWT with six-component detector, the characteristics of rotor performance with yaw and tilt angle condition and influence of tower position are considered.
