Dear Jason
Please give some guides to linearize NREL onshore 5MW WT by openfast or fast v8 .
Sincerely yours

Dear @Ali.Elyaakoubi,

What application of linearization do you have in mind?

Best regards,

Dear Dr Jason
I am meaning a linearization arount an operating point

Dear @Ali.Elyaakoubi,

Because the OpenFAST model is nonlinear, all linearizations involve linearization about an operating point.

I’m trying to understand what you want guidance on. What application of linearization do you have in mind?

Best regards,

I want to get the matrices of the state space model linearized

Dear @Ali.Elyaakoubi,

Have you already reviewed the papers on the theoretical basis of linearization in OpenFAST, the user documentation of FAST v8 and OpenFAST (including linearization) features, and workshop materials? What question(s) do you have?

Best regards,
