In the present study, a vibration-based structural health monitoring (SHM) method for wind turbine blades using Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) is presented. To simulate the dynamic response of the wind turbine, the NREL FAST tool implemented in QBlade was used to calculate the forces in the time domain along the blade in response to the stochastic excitation of the rotating blade by means of the rotationally sampled turbulence spectrum of the wind....
