DeepWind 5-MW VAWT (onshore version)

Release notes

DeepWind 5-MW VAWT (onshore version) v 1.0

The model is based on the DeepWind rotor. Since, the DeepWind turbine was an offshore VAWT and the purpose of the analysis was the study of design load cases for multi-megawatt onshore VAWTs, it was modified structurally taking into account up-scaled properties of the Sandia 34m VAWT prototype. The model was used as part of an MSc in Wind Energy master thesis study. Details of the HAWC2 VAWT model and how was modeled are described in the report:

“Study of Design Load Cases for Multi-Megawatt Onshore Vertical Axis Wind Turbines”, DTU Wind Energy, June 2015.

This model is compatible with HAWC2 versions from 11.9.
