Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a method of estimating design loads of different wind turbine configurations. The method comprises calculating a plurality of preliminary load sets for each of a plurality of wind turbine configurations, each load set including a preliminary load value for each load metric; extracting, for each load metric, a driving load from the calculated preliminary load values; identifying, for each load metric, the wind turbine configurations for which the associated preliminary load value is within a predetermined threshold of the extracted driving load; determining a subset of the wind turbine configurations, comprising at least one of the identified wind turbine configurations for each load metric; and using the subset to estimate design loads of different wind turbine configurations.
