Changing the orientation of the turbine
At the moment I am running simulations on a floating wind turbine with asymmetrical floater. I would like to do this for different wind directions . In the simulation setup it is easy to change the wind direction, but the orientation of the rotor and blades is automatically in the direction of the x-axis.
Is there a way to rotate the nacele and turbine relative to the floater other than performing a rotation of the joint coordinates about the z-axis?
Hi,
the rotor and nacelle can be rotated by setting the yaw angle of the turbine.
During the ramp up phase of the simulation the turbine will then orient itself according to the selected initial yaw.
It’s also possible to choose a global rotation of the whole floater, this will then also affect the positioning of morning lines etc.
BR,
David
