High temporal frequency data from a four turbine, blade-resolved wind farm simulation with ExaWind

Dataset Henry de Frahan, Marc T. ; Cheung, Lawrence ; Sprague, Michael A.

The data was generated with ExaWind (https://github.com/Exawind) which couples AMR-Wind (https://github.com/Exawind/amr-wind/), Nalu-Wind (https://github.com/Exawind/nalu-wind), TIOGA (https://github.com/Exawind/tioga), and OpenFAST (https://github.com/OpenFAST/openfast). This is a large-scale simulation of a blade-resolved wind farm using the ExaWind software stack. ExaWind couples together a background flow solver, AMR-Wind, and a near-body solver, Nalu-Wind, through an overset technique from the TIOGA application. Another application, OpenFAST, handles the structural dynamics of the turbine blades and towers, which informs the fluid-structure interaction of the wind turbines with the flow solvers. This particular simulation includes four blade-resolved wind turbines operating in a turbulent atmospheric boundary layer. The AMR-Wind solver uses 500more »« less
High fidelity blade-resolved and actuator line data from a 16 turbine wind farm simulation using ExaWind

Dataset Cheung, Lawrence ; Henry de Frahan, Marc ; Sprague, Michael

This data was generated with the ExaWind code suite (https://github.com/Exawind) as a demonstration of a large, 16 turbine wind farm simulation, calculated using two different levels of fidelity. The lower level of fidelity approach uses an actuator line approach to represent the turbines, and was simulated with AMR-Wind (https://github.com/Exawind/amr-wind/) as the background flow solver, coupled to OpenFAST (https://github.com/OpenFAST/openfast). The higher level of fidelity simulation uses a blade-resolved approach, and is done using AMR-Wind, Nalu-Wind (https://github.com/Exawind/nalu-wind), OpenFAST, and TIOGA (https://github.com/Exawind/tioga). In the blade-resolved simulation, ExaWind couples together a background flow solver, AMR-Wind, and a near-body solver, Nalu-Wind, through an overset techniquemore »« less
RANS Simulation ADM of the NREL Phase VI wind turbine modeled as MHK Turbine

Dataset Javaherchi, Teymour

Attached are the .cas and .dat files for the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulation of a single lab-scaled DOE RM1 turbine implemented in ANSYS FLUENT CFD-package. In this case study the flow field around and in the wake of the NREL Phase VI wind turbine, modeled is MHK turbine, is simulated using Actuator Disk Model (ADM) (a.k.a Porous Media) by solving RANS equations coupled with a turbulence closure model. It should be highlighted that in this simulation the actual geometry of the rotor blade is not modeled. The effect of turbine rotating blades are modeled using the Actuator Disk Theorymore »« less
Wind Turbine / Reviewed Data

Dataset Scholbrock, Andy

The SUMR-D CART2 turbine data are recorded by the CART2 wind turbine's supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system for the Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) SUMR-D project located at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Flatirons Campus. For the project, the CART2 wind turbine was outfitted with a highly flexible rotor specifically designed and constructed for the project. More details about the project can be found here: https://sumrwind.com/. The data include power, loads, and meteorological information from the turbine during startup, operation, and shutdown, and when it was parked and idle.
