Difference between Generator Torque and High Speed Shaft Tq

Wind & Water Structural Analysis

Dear all,

Maybe this is a very dummy doubt, but I can’t see why the variable GenTq is different from HSShftTq in FAST.
They shouldn’t have the same value, since the GenTq is directly connected to the High Speed Shaft?

Thanks,

Dear Eduardo,

GenTq and HSShftTq are different in FAST. See the following forum topic for a discussion on this topic, as well as more information on the drivetrain model of FAST: Resistant moment of the rotor and of the electric generator.

Best regards,
