We do not have plans to uprate the turbine at this time.

As a conservative baseline, we expect the fatigue performance to be fair, but certainly not optimized, whether looking at the blades, tower, monopile, or other components.

We also do not have plans or the resources to add that at this time. No detailed fatigue load analysis was performed in the report. Further details about Python installation requirements, when using the Python interface to OrcaFlex, can be found here. Note, as the example makes use of a Python script, Python 3 is required to view the example simulation (.sim) file. This can be achieved by downloading the demo version of OrcaFlex, available here. It is possible to view this model without having access to an OrcaFlex license. This is implemented through a Python external function which acts as a wrapper written in the 'Bladed style'. The included PDF document provides further details about the model itself, where the turbine controller is supported through a 64-bit version of NREL's ROSCO DLL. The Orcina team have created a model of the 15MW reference turbine, using OrcaFlex, which is publicly available at this link.

Why am I seeing floating tower resonance?.

The Class I average velocity and the metocean average velocity in the report do not match.

Are FEM or high-resolution CAD models of the blade available?.

Where can I find detailed blade properties?.

I get a different rated thrust value than the report?.

I get a different blade mass value than the report?.

Is there additional soil or geotech data available?.
