Question about NREL's 5MW wind turbine inertia of rotation

Dear Liang Li,

The mass, center of mass, and inertias of the rigid rotor-nacelle assembly (RNA) for the NREL 5-MW turbine are documented in the following forum topic: Using Aggregate Mass in ADAMS to Check NREL CS_Monopile.bmi. Of course, the inertias can be translated to whatever reference axis you want.

If you’re seeking the mass/inertias of the whole system (rotor + nacelle + tower + platform), these will of course depend on which support structure you are using.

Best regards,
