WindPACT

Files and documentation for WindPACT reference models. The report for the models is here [2].

Summary

The WindPACT models were a set of reference wind turbine models that were made as part of a scaling study in the early 2000s [1]. These models were implemented in FAST v7 and v8 so that researchers might use the models [2].

Directory Contents

The directory currently contains

  1. Excel design files that contain the original design calculations from the WindPACT study that were used to calculate the FAST parameters,
  2. FAST v7 and v8 input files for the four reference models, and
  3. modal analysis results from Modes v2.22.
