Wind turbines are subject to multiple sources of uncertainties that need to be meticulously considered during the design phase. Among these, the aerodynamic characteristics uncertainty of wind turbine blade airfoils directly impacts the aerodynamic load on the blades. Moreover, the dynamic stall phe...
