Hello everybody,
I have two questions about wind-speed settings.
The N2 diagram of 18_rotor_tower_monopile/blade_driver.py shows me that the turbine wind-speed class setting is one of the three inputs of the wt.rotorse.wt_class ExplicitComponent along with V_mean_overwrite and V_extreme50_overwrite. The wind-speed class setting is used to set a Vref value used to calculate the three outputs of the class: V_mean, V_extreme1, V_extreme50. And, as the inputs names suggest, the first and third calculated values can be overwritten by the values of V_mean_overwrite and V_extreme50_overwrite.
Searching through the WISDEM code, I have found that I can set V_mean_overwrite by simply assigning a value to the V_mean field in the geometry configuration file under the environment tag, but (question 1 ) can I do the same also for V_extreme50_overwrite ? If yes, with what variable and where? I haven’t found anything about this in …/wisdem/inputs/geometry_schema.yaml.
Now, the V_extreme50 output is used only in glue_code.py as
self.connect("rotorse.wt_class.V_extreme50", "drivese.spinner_gust_ws")
...
self.connect("rotorse.wt_class.V_extreme50", "landbosse.gust_velocity_m_per_s")
and, actually, also spinner_gust_ws value can be set directly in the configuration file, but I have not found a way to do the same for gust_velocity_m_per_s.
So, (question 2) if V_extreme50_overwrite can not be set in the configuration file, can at least gust_velocity_m_per_s be set there?
Thank you for your time and attention,
Henny
