Blade elastic displacement were successfully tracked by means of digital photographic recording using both Light Emitting Diods; LEDs, and reflexes mounted on a wind turbine blade. A procedure for image analysis was developed. The output from the image analysis was co-ordinates of the objects under investigation. Although the method developed is useful in producing results it still remains to verify the integrity of the results versus, for example, load measurements. The image analysis carried out and presented in this report shows that verification of simulation of blade movements is attainable. However, exact outdoor inflow conditions are extremely difficult to measure and it is therefore not possible to emulate every situation in detail. An increased knowledge of actual blade translation and rotation will nevertheless enable improvement of structural dynamics simulation codes. This is an insight which will grow with the size of future turbines.
