Evaluation of RCAS Inflow Models for Wind Turbine Analysis

National Wind Technology Center

Research output: NREL › Technical Report

Abstract

The finite element structural modeling in the Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis System (RCAS) provides a state-of-the-art approach to aeroelastic analysis. This, coupled with its ability to model all turbine components, results in a methodology that can simulate complex system interactions characteristic of large wind. In addition, RCAS is uniquely capable of modeling advanced control algorithmsand the resulting dynamic responses.
