Abstract
Experimental tests have been performed to investigate the wave load on the rotor in design wave conditions. These wave loads should give an indication of the required structural strength around the rotors as well as for other equipment such as the bearings. During the lab tests, the wave loads have been measured for the following configurations:
• Head and beam seas (wave coming from the front and the side)
• For three different submergence levels
• For three different dispositions of the rotor (free to rotate, and fixed at 50° and 90°)
Based on this results, an estimation of the maximum wave loads has been made on the maximum wave loads at the DanWEC test site.

Based on this results, an estimation of the maximum wave loads has been made on the maximum wave loads at the DanWEC test site.
