� 3D, 3-component Kaimal turbulent wind field (1 minutes sample)<br />

� 6 bin-combinations for each wind speed bin<br />

� fault occurs 10s into simulation<br />

� log. vertical shear with ground roughness length of 0.002m<br />

� NTM is site specific<br />

� NSS with irregular waves defined using Jonswap spectrum (peakn. = 3.3)<br />

� NCM using near-surface current, decreasing linearly to the sea bed<br />

� faults:<br />

a) Pitch runaway. All blades pitches towards fine at -8°/s<br />

b) no other failures considered in this study<br />

� extreme loads for each load case group (e.g. 2.1aa) are calculated as the mean of the<br />

maxima from each of the six seeds
