Question about defining wind turbine rotor angle
Dear David,
I would like to know how to define the wind turbine rotor that does not face to the global -X direction for Floating wind turbine? While keeping the coordinates definition of the platform and mooring as original X, Y and Z directions.
thanks
Chris
Hi Chris,
the simplest way to achieve this would be to set the rotor yaw angle in the Turbine Initial Conditions section of the simulation setup dialog.
If adjusting the yaw orientation alone is not sufficient, you can freely define the orientation of the Transition Piece (TP), which connects the turbine’s tower bottom to the floater.
Alternatively, it’s also possible to define the tower as part of the substructure file and then position the TP on top of this tower. This setup enables you to attach the Rotor Nacelle Assembly (RNA) in any desired orientation to the tower top.
BR,
David
