Dear All,
On August 7, 2012, I led a Wind Turbine Modeling Workshop at UMass in Amherst, MA. The presentations and sample simulations that were presented at this workshop are now available from: wind.nrel.gov/public/jjonkman/Pr … AmherstMA/. The presentations and sample simulations provide an overview of the NREL-developed CAE tools, with a focus on the capabilities of FAST, AeroDyn, and HydroDyn.
Enjoy!

Dear Wind Turbine Modeling Enthusiast,
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Wind and Water Power Program will be hosting a workshop on the new modularization framework for the FAST wind turbine computer-aided engineering (CAE) tool. This workshop is specifically targeted at participants of the projects funded through DE-FOA-0000415 who are developing new offshore-related features for FAST, but other users of FAST who contribute (or are planning to contribute) to its development are encouraged to attend. This half-day workshop is free and will be held in conjunction with the AWEA OFFSHORE WINDPOWER Conference & Exhibition in Virginia Beach, VA (USA) on October 8, 2012.
More information, including the workshop invitation, agenda, and registration form are attached. Registration will be limited to approximately 50 people, and preference will first be given to DE-FOA-0000415 project participants. We will open up a net-meeting for those who cannot attend in person. Those interested in attending (either in person or by net-meeting) should submit their registration form by September 21.

Dear NWTC forum members,
My colleagues and I are offering an online course in the Spring 2019 semester on wind turbine simulation using FAST (specifically we will use OpenFAST). Students will learn how to download and run FAST, how to generate and modify input files, how to run various simulation conditions, and how to analyze output data. At the end of the course students should be highly competent users of FAST, ready to perform loads and energy generation analysis and try out new design modifications of their own.
The course is made up of 9 online modules:
Unit 1: Introduction to OpenFAST
Unit 2: Anatomy of a wind turbine
Unit 3: Pre- and post-processing
Unit 4: ElastoDyn and SubDyn
Unit 5: Aerodyn, InfloWind, and TurbSim
Unit 6: HydroDyn
Unit 7: Floating structures
Unit 8: ServoDyn
Unit 9: Advanced techniques

The course is open to non-citizens of the U.S. There are no explicit prerequisites, but the course has been developed by engineers and the assumption is that many students of the course have an engineering or technical background. Modules are released weekly, and you can work on your own schedule, so no need to schedule any specific times for the class.
