NREL 5-MW reference turbine - CP, CQ, CT Coefficients

Dear Rocio,

No, the standalone AeroDyn driver is not set up to run a parametric analysis that generates one output file for multiple cases. I would think a simple script could be written to do this, but I don’t have one I can send you. The key is that the output from standalone AeroDyn for each case is a time series–and what you want is the mean of this time series (or preferably the azimuth average), resulting in one value of RtAeroCp and RtAeroCt for each case. If you have MATLAB, the MCrunch post-processor could be used to calculate these mean values, or you could write your own script to do that.

Best regards,
