Is it possible to handle the combined wind turbine+substructure+wec togeather?
I’m interested in learning about the current capabilities of q_blade in handling the combined wind turbine, substructure, and WEC using the current code. It seems that q_blade can manage each component separately. Could you please provide your insights on this? If it is indeed possible, kindly share any references or resources related to the topic of hybrid structures involving wind turbines, substructures, and WECs.
Hello Kumar,
wave energy converter are not directly supported in QBlade. However, you could implement the model of a WEC as a custom library through the External Library Interface. This approach allows for two-way coupling between QBlade and the WEC, enabling the communication of forces, mass, and other quantities between the two systems.
BR,
David
