Description

Multi-disciplinary optimization of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT)

The dataset provide the inputs and the result files for design optimization of

  • a (medium-speed geared) drivetrain and
  • a (tubular) tower

for the Made4Wind FOWT on a tension-leg platform (TLP).

The code basis use the `WISDEM-WEIS` toolset from NLR
based on the open-source library `openMDAO` for multi-disciplinary design, analysis and (gradient-based inequality-constrained) optimization.

The reader is refered to the `README.md` file for further details on the contents and code base of the dataset.
