Description
This dataset presents the experimental measurements made in the Hydrodynamic and Ocean Engineering wave tank of Ecole Centrale de Nantes, in France, with the model of a 10 MW turbine supported by a spar platform at a scale 1:40.
The tests were performed using a real-time hybrid testing method (or software-in-the-loop) called SoftWind presented and published in Ocean Engineering (the paper is available at this link).
Presentation of the experimental model:
The model is presented in details in the provided Excel file "FLOATECH_C3_Project data and model description.xlsx".
In the dataset:
The measurement files of the tests are gathered in folders by "series", and each test file has a test number. The series and the test conditions of each run are detailed in the provided Excel file "FLOATECH_C3_Database_Matrix.xlsx".
Decay tests, pull-out tests and hammer tests were performed and are given in the dataset.
Real-time simulation models
The numerical models used in the real-time OpenFAST simulations are also provided in the compressed file "RT Simulations files.zip".
Data used in the published paper:
Some of the tests were used in the paper (see link). The corresponding test numbers are given in the table below.
| Load cases | Hs (m) | Tp (s) | Uhub (m/s) | TI (%) | Wave dir. (°) | Wind dir(°) | TestNum 1C | TestNum 3C | TestNum 5C |
| 1.2 | 7 | 12 | 14 | 13.8 | 0 | 0 | 269 | 268 | 270 |
| 2.1 | 7 | 12 | 14 | 13.8 | 0 | 25 | 275 | 307 | 281 |
