# IEA-15-240-RWT v1.1

This repository contains the model data for the 15-MW offshore reference turbine developed within IEA Wind Task 37.



The documentation for the turbine is accessible here: https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy20osti/75698.pdf

and the semisubmersible floating support structure is documented here: https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy20osti/76773.pdf



Data in this repository includes:

* Documentation, including tabular data used in the figures from the technical report

* OpenFAST aeroelastic model inputs

* HAWC2 aeroelastic model inputs

* WISDEM optimization files

* Wind turbine ontology .yaml files

* CAD modeling of turbine where available



## Requirements



*OpenFAST*:

* Please check the release notes for OpenFAST version compatability.  OpenFAST can be compiled [from source here](https://github.com/OpenFAST/openfast.git) or precompiled Windows binaries are [available for download](https://github.com/OpenFAST/openfast/releases/latest/download/windows_openfast_binaries.zip). More information on installing and running OpenFAST is available in [OpenFAST documention](https://openfast.readthedocs.io/en/master/).

* NREL's Reference OpenSource Controller (ROSCO) is required.  This can be compiled [from source here](https://github.com/nrel/rosco) or precompiled binaries for all platforms are [available for download](https://github.com/NREL/ROSCO/releases/).  The version of the ROSCO controller can be found in the header of the [DISCON.IN](https://github.com/IEAWindTask37/IEA-15-240-RWT/blob/3a00f7f38a6373f6b026aef5878b671ca7af3605/OpenFAST/IEA-15-240-RWT-UMaineSemi/IEA-15-240-RWT-UMaineSemi_DISCON.IN#L2)



*HAWC2*:

* HAWC2 can be acquired from its [homepage](https://www.hawc2.dk/).  The DTU Basic Controller can be obtained from its [repository](https://gitlab.windenergy.dtu.dk/OpenLAC/BasicDTUController).



*WISDEM*:

 * WISDEM can be installed from its Github [repository](https://github.com/WISDEM/WISDEM).

 * See the [documentation](https://wisdem.readthedocs.io) for installation and usage guides.



## Design Updates



The IEA Wind Task 37 authors endeavor to keep the model input decks current with the latest releases and API changes.  Errors and other issues pointed out by the community are also addressed to the extent that available resources make that possible.  See the [Release Notes](blob/master/ReleaseNotes.md) for a detailed description of changes.



We also encourage the broader wind community to submit design updates by forking the repository and letting us know of your design customatization.  Community contributions that we are aware of include:

* [Bladed model](https://github.com/IEAWindTask37/IEA-15-240-RWT/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions-(FAQ)#is-bladed-supported) implemented by [DNV](mailto:[email protected])

* [OrcaFlex model](https://github.com/IEAWindTask37/IEA-15-240-RWT/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions-(FAQ)#is-orcaflex-supported) implemented by Orcina, contact [Orcina](mailto:[email protected])

* [Detailed rotor redesign](https://data.bris.ac.uk/data/dataset/3jrb4mejp9vfd2qb3s7dreymr1) from University of Bristol described in a TORQUE 2022 [paper](https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/2265/3/032029/pdf), contact [Peter Greaves](mailto:[email protected])

* [NuMAD model](https://github.com/UTDGriffithLab/UTD-IEA15MWBlade) developed at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) by [Alejandra S. Escalera Mendoza](mailto:[email protected]) and [Prof D. Todd Griffith](mailto:[email protected])

* [Jacket support structure](https://github.com/mmrocze2/IEA-15-240-RWT) The DEME Group created a 3-legged jacket for a 50m water depth, contact [Maciej Mroczek](mailto:[email protected])

## Questions



Before reaching out to NREL or DTU authors with questions on the model or reports, please see our frequently asked questions (FAQ) on our [Github Wiki](https://github.com/IEAWindTask37/IEA-15-240-RWT/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions-(FAQ)) and current or prior [Issues](https://github.com/IEAWindTask37/IEA-15-240-RWT/issues).



If neither the FAQ or Issues address your need, please create a new Issue on this repository so that the dialogue is archived for others that might have similar questions. You can also reach out to the authors directly if that is your preference.  The technical report lists the contributions of individual authors if you have a specific question.  Otherwise, you can contact Garrett Barter ([email protected]).
