    摘要: A wind turbine rotor blade load emulator arrangement includes a support unit constructed to support a rotor blade during a fatigue test procedure; an exciter configured to deflect the rotor blade during a fatigue test procedure; and a stiffness augmentation assembly for mounting to the rotor blade over a mounting length, which stiffness augmentation assembly is realized to increase the stiffness of the rotor blade in the mounting length. A method of carrying out a fatigue test procedure on a wind turbine rotor blade uses such a load emulator arrangement.
