Setting up Turbine Library Parameters

The foundation of platform design is turbine library and turbine tower parameter configuration. In this section, the details of the configuration is introduced.

Before the platform design, ensure that a project has been created and the turbine model and WTG group are added into the project.

For details about adding a turbine model, refer to the section Importing Turbine Model.

For details about creating WTG group, refer to the section Importing Turbine Layout.

  1. Click the turbine model object in the Project pane.
  2. Click 《 at the right top of the interface to open the operation panel.
  3. Click the Property tab.
  4. Configure the parameters of turbine The parameters to be configured for the turbine model are listed in the table below:
    Configuration Object Type Parameter Name
    Turbine model Basic information Rotor diameter
    Rotor weight
    Blade Blade length
    Blade width
    Blade pivot distance
    Blade weight
    These values are acquired from the PLM turbine parameters.
  5. Double-click the turbine model object and click the Component Configuration Management tab. For details of component group configuration, refer to the section Configuring Component Group. The parameters mandatory for component group applied in platform design are listed in the table below:
    Configuration Object Type Parameter Name
    Component group Hub Hub length
    Hub width
    Nacelle Nacelle weight
    Nacelle length
    Nacelle width
    Nacelle height
  6. Configure tower parameters for the turbine model series. Refer to the section Configuring Applicable Tower. For the platform design, the bottom diameter of each tower section is mandatory. The bottom diameter is adopted from the external diameter of top end or bottom end of each tower section in the tower configuration parameters. If you fill in external diameter of both top end and bottom end, the bottom diameter is taken as the larger value of them.
  7. Double click the wind farm layout object. The Overview page opens.
  8. Configure the turbine model series, turbine model, component group, and length of each tower section.
  9. Click Save to save the settings.
    The turbine configuration for platform design is completed.
