In this paper, we analyse the simulated and measured wind data with respect
to their spectral characteristics and their effect on wind turbine loads. The synthetic data is
generated from a stochastic full-field turbulent wind simulator - TurbSim for neutral stability
conditions. We first investigate a model for velocity spectra and, a coherence model, by
comparing the model results with the measurements. In the second part we analyse the synthetic
data via spectra and coherence for two cases; without and with adding coherent events. Finally,
we compare wind turbine loads calculated by using FAST simulation of 5 MW reference wind
turbine on the basis of simulated and measured data for the given mean wind speed.
