**Appendix D**

We plotted each result (obtained from LRM) as a series of piecewise linear line segments using the 'connect the dots' method as a bold blue line in Figures A4–A6 for different wind-speeds subject to the wind turbine settings of 3.0-blade (full blades), 2.5-blade and 2.0-blade configurations, respectively. In each figure, the plots were divided into three groups, i.e., the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis groups, and each group includes subfigures plotted for the no-wind (0 m/s), 6 m/s, 12 m/s and 18 m/s wind-speed settings.
