Beginner Guide for MATLAB Simulink and FAST

[Jian.Zhang]

Dear Elham,

The FAST models of the NREL 5-MW turbine available from (http://wind.nrel.gov/public/jjonkman/NR ... Bsline5MW/) are compatible with FAST v7.02.00d-bjj. But these models rely on the use of a Bladed-style DLL controller, which is not compiled with FAST v7.02.00d-bjj by default. If you wish to run FAST v7.02.00d-bjj compiled with the Bladed-style DLL controller, you can find that here: http://wind.nrel.gov/public/jjonkman/FA ... erface.exe. Updated NREL 5-MW models compatible with FAST v8 are distributed within the CertTest directory of the FAST v8 archive: https://nwtc.nrel.gov/FAST8. The Bladed-style DLL controller is compiled with FAST v8 by default.

The interface between FAST v8 and Simulink has not yet been publicly released yet, so if you wish to apply Simulink, you should currently use FAST v7. We will be releasing an updated version of FAST v8 with a Simulink interface soon.

The source files for compiling the Simulink S-Function with FAST v7 are available in the FAST v7 archive: https://nwtc.nrel.gov/FAST7.

Best regards,

Dear Jason,

As the NREL website crashed, could you send me a copy or link regarding FAST v7.02.00d-bjj compiled with the Bladed-style DLL controller? Thank you for your help.

Regards,
Jian

Dear Jian,

As I announced here: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1001, the http://wind.nrel.gov/public/ site has also been taken down. I've now shared these files via Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing.
