Part 1 – QBlade Wind Turbine Simulation Software with GUI

Introduction In past posts, an opensource programme for simulation of wind turbines and a limited wind farm configuration was covered. It is called OpenFAST. A nice programme it is; however, it does not have an interactive user interface. Introduced here is QBlade which has similar models of wind turbines as OpenFAST as a free programme… Read More Part 1 – QBlade Wind Turbine Simulation Software with GUI

PyWake – Wind Farm Design and Simulation Programme

Introduction With the rapidly evolving field of renewable energy and software engineering, presented here is a Python backed opensource programme for simulating a wind farm. It is called PyWake. Existing approaches for simulation of a wind turbine utilising hand calculations, opensource software and paid software are of common application. However, for wind farm design, in… Read More PyWake – Wind Farm Design and Simulation Programme
