To carry on fatigue loading tests for wind turbine blades accurately, the self-synchronous vibration mechanism of loading system was investigated. Firstly, the mathematical model of vibration was deduced based on LaGrange Equation, thus the influence factors of self-synchronous vibration could be obtained. Then to study the influencing rules of the initial phase difference between loading equipment and blade, a simulating model was constructed to carry on the numerical simulation and it was found that when the driving frequency of the loading equipment was the same as the natural frequency of the blade, a different initial phase separation would generate different effect on self-synchronous vibration. Finally, an on-site fatigue test system was established to verify the accuracy of mathematical and simulation model mentioned above. It could be concluded that the test results were consistent with the simulating result. The research on the self-synchronous vibration performance of loading system for blade could supply a theory support for the sequent control of blade’s fatigue tests precisely.
