A system and a method for pressure based load measurement are provided. The system and the method measure at least one pressure differential on an airfoil and determine at least one aerodynamic load associated with the pressure differential. The determined load is used to modify characteristics of the airfoil to increase efficiency and/or avoid damage. The determined aerodynamic load may be further utilized to balance and/or optimize loads at the airfoil, estimate a load distribution along the airfoil used to derive other metrics about the airfoil, and/or be used in a distributed control system to increase efficiency and/or reduce damage to, e.g., one or more wind turbines. |
