Short summary
We show how the operational modal analysis of a nonuniform wind turbine tower can be performed and used to acquire effective and reliable test results and dynamic behavior. Results show that a tailor-made genetic algorithm (using auto-MAC as the fitness function) is a practical approach to finding the optimal position of the sensors to obtain the best results for objective modes. We also accessed the updated finite element model with less than 1 % error compared to the frequencies from the test.
