Hi, I was wondering if the IEA 15MW wind turbine model of the UMaine SS comes with a yaw control system that can be switched on. I noticed that this is switched off, and therefore the yaw DOF of the nacelle should be switched off, and the yaw nacelle angle aligned with the wind direction.
Anyway, the platform may yaw during the simulation, and therefore there will be a skew angle between the rotor and the nacelle,.
I tried:
in Elastodyn.dat: YawDOF True
in Servodyn.dat: YCMode 5, TYCOn 0.0, and leaving all the others the same
but nothing seems to change in the simulation (that is even stranger, since I would have expected either a yaw control to kick in, or the simulation to crash since the control model was not working).
Potential solution
I was wondering if I am doing something wrong, or this feature was not implemented?
