Trouble Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Here is my question:I have to use the "GE-3.6MW Offshore Series Wind Turbine" in WAsP 9.0 for calculation with my work. But I couldn't find this wind turbine generator in WAsP 9.0 program. So, where or how could I get this turbine generator type of (*.wtg) file for WAsP 9.0 using ???!!!The detail data of GE-3.6MW Offshore Series Wind Turbine is below: Technical Data 3.6slOperating data• Rated capacity: 3,600 kW• Cut-in wind speed: 3,5 m/s• Cut-out wind speed: 27 m/s• Rated wind speed: 14 m/sRotor• Number of rotor blades: 3• Rotor diameter: 111 m• Swept area: 9677 m2• Rotor speed (variable): 8,5 – 15,3 rpmTower• Hub heights: Site dependentPower control Active blade pitch controlDesign dataIEC 61400-1 ed2: Type class S*Thanks!!!
Petar Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Hi,you can find a lots of WTG power curves here:http://www.emd.dk/WindPRO/Downloads%20and%20Updates/BRPetar
Niels Gylling Mortensen Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Or, you could contact the manufacturer directly for site-specific power and thrust curves.
Trouble Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Hi,I tried to download the "All WTGs (15.7 MB)" file from the website you mentioned...http://www.emd.dk/WindPRO/Downloads%20and%20Updates/But I still couldn't insert the file into WAsP 9.0. It showed "There is a problem with the insertion". And I also couldn't open the file with the WAsP turbine editor !Why and how to solve it? Did you meet the same problem before?! Thanks!
Morten Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Both the WindPro and WAsP programs use the file extension *.wtg for files with Wind Turbine Generator information. Unfortunately they are not the same. The WAsP WTG file is in XML format whereas the WindPro WTG is binary and usualy longer. You can open the WindPro WTG file with the WindPro program and read the information, but I don't think there is a way to concert it to WAsP format.A few turbine manufactures have supplied ready-made WAsP WTG files for download at www.WAsP.dk/download/powercurves.aspx. If you cannot find the data for your chosen turbine, or if you want to make absolutely sure that you have the correct information, you have to contact the manufacturer.
