Release notes
NREL 5-MW Reference Wind Turbine v 5.0
The model is based on the fictive 5-MW reference wind turbine described by NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory). Version 2.0.
The controller implemented as a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) that uses “bladed2hawc.dll” as wrapper that reads the "DISCON.DLL". The "DISCON.DLL" contains the variable-speed generator torque and blade-pitch controller as implemented in GH Bladed-style. The controller is also described in:
