Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A wind turbine rotor blade root load sensor includes an insert secured within a root portion of a wind turbine rotor blade and including an internal bore. The sensor also includes a carrier member fixedly connected to the internal bore of the insert so that loads can be transmitted therebetween. The sensor further includes a sensing element supported by the carrier member within the internal bore of the insert. The sensing element is positioned to detect loads applied to the wind turbine rotor blade and transferred through the insert and the carrier member.
