FAST Model of the SWE-CPP Semi-Submersible Floating Wind Turbine Platform

OpenFAST v1.0.0 input files model the SWE-CPP semi-submersible platform for the DTU 10MW reference wind turbine. Files are configured with initial conditions equal to equilibrium states at different wind speeds to reduce transient simulation time. The dataset was authored by Frank Lemmer from the University of Stuttgart.

Use Cases

• Simulating floating wind turbine platform dynamics based on OpenFAST model files.
• Analyzing system equilibrium states based on initial conditions set for different wind speeds.
• Studying the impact of floater geometry parameters like column spacing and heave plate thickness.
• Running time-domain simulations for the DTU 10MW reference turbine on a semi-submersible platform.

Strengths

• Includes all files necessary to build an OpenFAST v1.0.0 platform model.
• Input files are pre-configured with equilibrium initial conditions to reduce transient simulation time.
• Based on the established DTU 10MW Reference Wind Turbine definition.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
