OpenFAST model of the Senvion 5M (REpower) offshore wind turbine (Metadata only)

The OpenFAST model was developed based on a previously implemented Flex5 model of the Senvion 5M and includes the structural and aerodynamic properties of the real blades as well as the fully functional blade-style turbine controller in a 32-bit version. A similar version of the OpenFAST model provided here was validated in [1] against measured data from the alpha ventus wind farm.

However, the model of the jacket substructure (OWEC Quattropod) used for validation in [1] is not part of the model provided here due to confidentiality reasons. Instead, a reduced representation consisting of mass, damping and stiffness matrices is used to represent the substructure. With this reduced representation of the substructure, it is not possible to calculate the hydrodynamic forces.
