Abstract:
The computer program PHATAS (Program for Horizontal Axis wind TurbineAnalysis and Simulation), is developed for the calculation of the dynamic
behaviour and the corresponding loads on a Horizontal Axis wind Turbine (HAT)
in time domain. This document is published as addendum to the PHATAS-III
User's Manual' and includes a description of all post processing tools that
are provided with PHATAS-III. Some of these tools will also be used with the
driver for wind turbine design tools PROGSEQ. Next to the conventional tools
for selection of output properties from PHATAS, the output processing tools
include: a tool for selection of the annual energy production from the design
spectrum which is considered as a set of dynamic load time series; an option
of the postprocessor to find the maximum, minimum and average values from any
output property of a PHATAS calculation; a tool for the extreme blade loads
selected from a set of blades or all the blades for the design spectrum; and
a tool for rotor-azimuth bin analysis of any output property. This tool can
be used for the analysis of any file that contains a table with subsequent
values of the properties. The program PHATAS-III and its output processing
tools are available for use on a SUN or a DEC ALPHA work station, operating
under UNIX, and for use on a PC, operating under DOS. 9 refs.
