Dear @Ian.Ammerman,
Just a few comments:
- Have you removed the generator azimuth state from linearized model? This topic has been discussed several times on this forum, e.g., see: This topic has been discussed several times on this forum, e.g., see: FAST linearization V7.
- Are the inputs to your linear model (wind speed, pitch) perturbations about the operating point values?
- Does the following forum topic which asked similar questions help you: OpenFAST: Linearization of NREL 5MW Onshore Turbine?
- FYI: OpenFAST does not currently support linearization when a DISCON controller is enabled.
Best regards,
