NREL-2.8-127 - downscaled from the IEA-3.4-130, tuned with available reference data
NREL-2.5-116 - downscaled from the IEA-3.4-130, tuned against similar public data, and further refined with structural analysis enabled by OpenFAST linearization
NREL-2.3-116 - downscaled from the NREL-2.5-116, tuned with available reference data
Other turbines under development have been lumped into this commit--those files may be used as a starting point but the NREL-2.x models include the most up-to-date workflows.
The workflow generally entails:
Selecting a starting model
Modifying relevant turbine geometric and operating parameters
Running WISDEM design steps
Checking WISDEM design with WISDEM/check_*.ipynb
Running WEIS design steps to tune the pitch controller and generate a working OpenFAST model
Comparing OpenFAST steady state power curve with WISDEM design using WEIS/check_*_openfast_powercurve.ipynb
Running the linearization analysis (currently using the https://github.com/OpenFAST/python-toolbox, but will be more tightly integrated with the WEIS workflow in the near future)
These designs were largely performed using the current development version of WEIS, including WISDEM v3.2-ish and ROSCO v2.3.0 (https://github.com/WISDEM/WEIS/pull/124/commits/4a1dd4dc496fd2a9a25db20ae57281046d4b86f0). The development effort has focused on the NREL-2.x-* turbines:
