We will fist load a demo project and then adjust the desired parameters. The demo project should be in the Bladed directory. This demo project simulates a 2MW wind turbine.

File > Open Project > demo_a.prj

Wind

The demo project uses a pre-defined turbulence wind file. We will change the wind characteristic to steady. Click on to edit the wind characteristic. The default wind is set to 3D Turbulent Wind with a mean wind speed of 12 m/s. This turbulent wind is defined in the demo wind file. For our case, we will use a steady wind of 11 m/s. Change the option to No Variation and change the Wind speed to 11 m/s. Click on Apply to save the changes.

Blade Modes

GH Bladed performs modal analysis based on the defined blade stiffness. The modes are used to predict blade deflection. Thus, we can eliminate the blade modes to simulate zero blade deflection. Double click on Modal Analysis.

Change the number of blade modes to 0. Click OK to close the Modal Analysis Parameters window.
