Dear all,
Can you please tell me if there is the possibility to create a wind profile for the InflowWind Input File for OpenFAST by oneself?
I build a simple Simulink model of a wind turbine based on the NREL 5 MW Baseline Wind Turbine parameters and would like to do some comparisons between this model and simulation results with OpenFAST.
For that matter, I don’t require the wind profile to be very complex. I want to test some steps, ramps and harmonic signals.
It should be uniform with a constant speed pointing frontally on the rotor plane (like the InflowWind Input File with steady wind that is already available) and after some set point in time increase either like a step function to another constant wind speed or with constant incline (ramp) and after some more time constant speed again. And at last, I would like to include some harmonic signal like a sine wave as a wind profile.
Your help is much appreciated.
Best regards,
Hendrik
