The wind loading on the turbine causes the rotation of the wind
turbine, which in turn generates aerodynamic and mechanical
forces on the top of the tower, which can be represented by a
force time history.

Lloyd’s to use SACS-FAST interface for certification of large UK offshore wind farms
Study to show that current industry standards for offshore wind turbine design do not account for
extreme design load cases in hurricane prone regions. .
The jacket design process used SACS to optimize the amount of steel and reduce the installed cost by
over 20% versus traditional monopile construction. The Block Island Wind Farm jackets are 15% lighter
than the previous design used for the same wind turbine in similar water depth in the North Sea.
The SACS functionality to interface with DNVGL's BLADED software, which was used by the Wind Turbine
designers (Alstom) to perform their load simulations, was used to ensure that the models used in both
programs matched.
