We have recently made some updates to our wind turbine controller package, available on the Orcina GitHub page.
The main change is that we’ve reinstated the yaw controller example, now revised using the recently introduced indirect constraints feature which allows the controller to be much less convoluted. There’s a short new section in the accompanying PDF document that describes how it works. Note that the C++ wrapper also supports this.
Additionally:
- The Python wrapper now uses the function GetMultipleTimeHistories to improve efficiency.
- The Python and C++ wrappers now populate a few more slots in the swap array (in-plane root moments and hub moments).
We hope that you will find the latest updates helpful. We always welcome any questions or feedback, so please do contact us for any further enquiries.
