WP_VSP_WTurb Output

Wind & Water Computer-Aided Engineering Software Tools

Hello,

I work on the 5MW_Land_DLL_WTurb since July. Now, I need to work on the WP_VSP_WTurb (5MW).

When I make a simulation with the WP_VSP_WTurb, I can’t find the GenPwr (kW) and RotSpeed [rpm] in the output file.

So my question is: Is it possible to find this data? If yes, can someone explain to me how to obtain it?

Best Regards,

Dear @Hugo.Bontemps,

Actually, test WS_VSP_WTurb from the OpenFAST r-test does not represent a 5-MW turbine; rather, this is a test using a model of the WindPACT 1.5-MW baseline wind turbine.

The r-tests are set up with a random set of outputs to test functionality of the software. You can always adopt the test, including outputs, to your needs. RotSpeed can be added to the OutList of ElastoDyn and GenPwr can be added to the OutList of ServoDyn.

Best regards
