Wind energy conversion devices (WECDs) are sensitive structures subjected to high force fluctuations, making them prone to damage. Thus, a global identification and damage detection technique is important to keep track of any changes in the structural characteristics of the WECD. In this contribution, a previously‐developed structural identification and damage detection algorithm, namely: the M odified A daptive Ha R mony Searc H AL gorithm (MARSHAL), is used to perform structural identification and damage detection to a laboratory test model of a WECD supported by a tripile.
