This repository contains the model data of the offshore reference wind turbine developed within IEA Wind Task 37.

The documentation of the turbine and the design process is accessible here: https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy19osti/73492.pdf

The data include the OpenFAST and HAWC2 aeroelastic files, a .yaml file with the corresponding json schema and open-source controllers.

The documentation of the .yaml file is available at https://windio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

The OpenFAST model is up to date with release 3.5.0 and uses the ROSCO controller https://github.com/NREL/ROSCO release v2.7.0. Note that you need to compile/download the right release of ROSCO yourself.

The Orcina team have created a model of the IEA-10.0-198-RWT using OrcaFlex. The model is publicly available at this link OrcaFlex implementation and can be loaded in the demo version of OrcaFlex. The included PDF document provides further details about the model.
