3. Operating principle
Before considering how the machine itself works, we need to define the precise source of wind energy. Modeling wind energy is essential for :
define the turbine's operating conditions and the site's potential (§ 6 );
define the loads applied to the blades ;
develop and refine rotor modeling.
