Wind2Loads 9D load simulation database statistics

  • 1. DTU Wind and Energy Systems

Description

1. An Excel file providing a list of the environmental conditions used to generate the load simulations. Column names correspond to the variables that are used as load simulation inputs. An "F" prefix in the variable means this is the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the distribution used to generate the random sample. If there is no F-prefix, the column corresponds to the physical value of the variable. 

2. Files containing the 10-minute statistics of load simulations. Files are delimited with semicolon ";"

- Filenames specify details about the simulation: "PointNo" corresponds to the sample number listed in the "conditions list" Excel file. "SetNo" corresponds to the random realization (there are 5-8 random realization at each sample point). Each sample realization corresponds to 1h simulations, but the simulation data are split in parts of 10min (so there are 6 "parts" in each realization) - the "part" in the filename indicates which part of the realization this is.

- The columns of each stats file are organized as follows (first column considered to have index 1):

Column 1: File name

For load channel number j, j = 1: n_channels:

Column 7*(j-1) + 2: mean value of channel j

Column 7*(j-1) + 3: standard deviation of channel j

Column 7*(j-1) + 4: minimum of channel j

Column 7*(j-1) + 5: maximum of channel j

Column 7*(j-1) + 6: DEL4 - fatigue damage-equivalent load (DEL) with S-N curve slope m = 4, for channel j

Column 7*(j-1) + 7: DEL8 - fatigue damage-equivalent load (DEL) with S-N curve slope m = 8, for channel j

Column 7*(j-1) + 8: DEL12 - fatigue damage-equivalent load (DEL) with S-N curve slope m = 12, for channel j
