Abstract
Rotor imbalance is a well-known issue, yet its full operational impact, based on real operational data, is rarely quantified. This study presents a real-life case from an offshore wind farm in which a rotor imbalance is detected and its root cause is identified using a smart, low barrier approach. The resulting effects on turbine performance and foundation lifetime are then quantified.
