ACDC: Automated Campbell Diagram Code
ACDC is an application to aid in the generation of Campbell Diagrams for wind turbines modeled with OpenFAST.
Overview
Overview
About
The goal of ACDC is to simplify the process of generating Campbell diagrams for wind turbines modeled in OpenFAST.
Install
ACDC executables are released for Windows, MacOS, and Linux, which can be downloaded from the project’s Github Releases.
Project
The Project tab handles creating and opening project files which contain the data for building the OpenFAST models, setting up linearization, describing the analysis operating points, and running the simulations.
Model
The Model tab handles importing and modifying OpenFAST turbine models. The following figure shows the Model tab before a model has been imported.
Analysis
The Analysis tab is where the user defines the operating points for the analysis.
Evaluate
The Evaluate tab runs a case to generate linearization files at each operating point.
Results
The Results tab is used process OpenFAST linearization files to generate the Campbell Diagram and visualize the turbine mode shapes.
