The validation of aeroelastic load models used for load calculations on wind turbines substantially increases the confidence in the accuracy and correctness of these models. In this contribution, we introduce a framework for the validation of these models, integrating a normalized area metric as an objective, quantifiable validation metric that considers the entire statistical distribution of a model and a benchmark and additionally enables a comparison of model accuracy between sensors of different physical units. The framework is applied to test cases that evaluate varying synthetic turbulent wind fields. Two test cases with a focus on turbulence parameters and abnormal shear conditions based on comprehensive wind measurements at the Testfeld Bremerhaven are used to demonstrate the workflow with four different members using IEC-compliant and measurement-derived wind field parameters, respectively. Along with these measurements, an uncertainty model for synthetic wind fields is introduced to quantify propagated wind measurement uncertainties associated with the measured boundary conditions during a validation campaign. The framework is presented as a straightforward and concise methodology to not only find but also quantify mismatches of load models. Major mismatches are found for wind fields associated with larger uncertainties in the mean wind field due to a reduced spatial resolution of measurements.
