The rotor blade assembly includes a radial bore hole provided a predetermined span-wise distance from the end face and extending between the sidewall surfaces and a longitudinal bore hole provided between the sidewall surfaces and extending from the end face to the radial bore hole. The rigid root insert is disposed within the longitudinal bore hole and extends from the end face to the radial bore hole. As such, the rigid root insert is configured to increase the stiffness of the blade root section when the rotor blade assembly is attached to the hub with bolts that extend into and through the radial bore hole and the longitudinal bore hole.

Another step includes estimating a span-wise loading of the rotor blade based at least partially on the one or more blade root loads. The method also includes determining a deformation margin of the rotor blade based at least partially on the span-wise loading and one or more estimated deformations occurring on the rotor blade. Another step includes controlling the wind turbine based on the deformation margin.
