Dear Dr.Jonkman,
I was reading this forum on FAST linearized model :[url]Fast Linearized Models] and I saw this reply from you:
According to 2nd paragraph, does this means that I can obtain the real effect of generator torque by using this method? If so, what is the correct way to do this? Or how should the generator torque be defined?
I’ve inserted my ServoDyn file below:
