TEAMER: Technical Support for Aquantis (Numerical Support): CRD-21-17763-0
Aquantis has developed a spar buoy-based turbine concept and has performed preliminary modeling simulations using the Tidal Bladed code, a proprietary DNV-GL modeling tool. By creating the model of the Aquantis turbine in OpenFAST, the Aquantis team will have the ability to develop and implement advanced rotor and system control strategies that cannot be modeled in Tidal Bladed. This project builds the simulation model of the full set of physics needed to accurately predict the performance of the AQ10 turbine in OpenFAST. The tool allows the developer to directly integrate turbine controller which is compatible with MATLAB/Simulink. Physics modeling capabilities being added to OpenFAST are (1) added mass in all relevant blade degrees-of-freedom, (2) wave loading and free surface on the blades, (3) rotor attachment to a submerged spar structure with a tower shadow model across the entire rotor disk, (4) mooring model improvements needed to simulate the unique AQ10 mooring system.
This submission includes:
- ReadMe file describing the contents and subfile organization of the model data .zip file
- OpenFAST Model Input Files and Simulation Case Files
