Output parameter issues of wind turbines

[yinghanguan]

I want to know what is the input range of pitch angle in the output parameters of Openfast? What is the input range for yaw angle and yaw rate? And what is the parameter name for the active power of the wind turbine in outparameter.xlsx? thanks

Dear @yinghanguan,

OpenFAST expects the pitch angles and yaw angles to be specified in the range of (-180 to 180] degrees. There is no hard limit on yaw rate, although I would expect yaw rates to be small to minimize gyroscopic loads throughout the system.

The generator power output from ServoDyn (GenPwr) is the active (real) electrical power generated by the wind turbine.

Best regards,
