- Summary:
- Numerical modeling is an essential tool for predicting the seismic response of structures. Many mature computational tools, both commercial and public domain, are available for modeling stationary buildings and structures. Wind turbines are structures in motion, however, and as such are not easily modeled in these existing packages. FAST, an open source software tool maintained by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), designed specifically to simulate turbine dynamics, overcomes this limitation. This paper discusses recent additions to FAST that allow a user to consider seismic loads in addition to existing robust capabilities for simulating wind and other load sources under the various states of wind turbine operation. For that purpose, researchers at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) first simulated seismic response for a small utility-scale wind turbine to a suite of earthquake motions using an experimentally validated OpenSees model. A comparable model built for FAST was subjected to the same earthquake recordings. Results from the two models validate this new capability in FAST.
