Hi
I am working in Flexcom on modeling floating wind turbine. To model a blade I need to provide: out of plane AC Offset, In plane AC Offset, and Out of plane curvature for particural nodes of the blade. On GitHub I found excel IEA-15-240-RWT_tabular but these data are not provided in the sheet blade gometry. Where I can find this data, or how it can be obtained?
Second issue is the airfoil shapes. Software base on the 5MW reference turbine where airfols were DU40 etc. the airfoils of 15MW blades are FFA-W3, can these airfolis can be somehow compared?
Dear @Kacper.Skrzyniarz,
The same aerodynamic-center-related inputs are needed inputs in OpenFAST’s AeroDyn module, and a full OpenFAST model (including AeroDyn input file) is available on the IEA Wind 15-MW RWT GitHub site, i.e., see: IEA-15-240-RWT/OpenFAST/IEA-15-240-RWT/IEA-15-240-RWT_AeroDyn15_blade.dat at master · IEAWindTask37/IEA-15-240-RWT · GitHub.
Likewise, the FFA airfoil shapes of the IEA Wind 15-MW RWT are available here: IEA-15-240-RWT/OpenFAST/IEA-15-240-RWT/Airfoils at master · IEAWindTask37/IEA-15-240-RWT · GitHub. And the airfoil shapes (DTU, NACA) of the NREL 5-MW baseline wind turbine are available here: r-test/glue-codes/openfast/5MW_Baseline/Airfoils at main · OpenFAST/r-test · GitHub.
Best regards,
