Abstract: In order to solve the problems on wind turbine design and type selection, the wind conditions which were the important parameters of wind turbines were investigated. After the analysis of wind conditions, the relation between wind conditions and loads was established. A method was presented to design and select wind turbines based on out the actual wind conditions in the specific wind farm. The loads on wind turbine were evaluated on simulation by professional software with the actual data which were tested in wind farm. The experimental results show that the type selection and the design load on wind turbine are more reasonable by using this method.
