6. API changes between versions

This page lists the main changes in the ROSCO API (input file) between different versions.

The changes are tabulated according to the line number, and flag name. The line number corresponds to the resulting line number after all changes are implemented. Thus, be sure to implement each in order so that subsequent line numbers are correct.

6.1. 2.9.0 to 2.10.0

New power reference control mode

  • De-rate or power boost the turbine using the reference speed, rated torque, or minimum pitch. More details can be found in the Examples page.

New startup mode

  • Startup the turbine by allowing the rotor to rotate freely (free-wheel) and the load rotor in stages to start the turbine.

Updated shutdown mode

  • Shutdown mode is modified to enable shutdown based on a set of triggers. The triggers include shutdown on exceeding a predefined pitch, yaw error or generator speed threshold; or at a specific time.

Fixed blade pitch control mode

  • The fixed blade pitch mode will use torque control only for the generator and stall-regulated control.

6.2. 2.8.0 to 2.9.0

Flag to use exteneded Bladed Interface

  • Set Ext_Interface to 1 to use the extened bladed interface with OpenFAST v3.5.0 and greater

Gain scheduling of floating feedback

  • The floating feedback gain can be scheduled on the low pass filtered wind speed signal. Note that Fl_Kp can now be an array.

Rotor position tracking

  • Control the azimuth position of the rotor with OL_Mode of 2 using a PID torque controller with gains defined by RP_Gains.

  • Control all three blade pitch inputs in open loop

New torque control mode settings

  • VS_ControlMode determines how the generator speed set point is determined: using the WSE (mode 2) or (P/K)^(1/3) (mode 3). The power signal in mode 3 is filtered using VS_PwrFiltF.

  • VS_ConstPower determines whether constant power is used (0 is constant torque, 1 is constant power)

Multiple notch filters

  • Users can list any number of notch filters and apply them to either the generator speed and/or tower top accelleration signal based on their index

Power reference control via generator speed set points

  • With this feature, enabled with PRC_Mode, a user can prescribe a set of generator speed set points (PRC_GenSpeeds) vs. the estimated wind speed (PRC_WindSpeeds), which can be used to avoid certain natural frequencies or implement a soft cut-out scheme.

  • A low pass filter with frequency PRC_LPF_Freq is used to filter the wind speed estimate. A lower value increases the stability of the generator speed reference signal.

ZeroMQ Interface

  • Each turbine is assigned a ZMQ_ID by the controller, which is tracked by a farm-level controller

Tower resonance avoidance

  • When TRA_Mode is 1, change the torque control generator speed setpoint to avoid TRA_ExclSpeed +/- TRA_ExclBand.

  • The set point is changed at a slow rate TRA_RateLimit to avoid generator power spikes. VS_RefSpd/100 is recommended.

6.5. 2.5.0 to develop

IPC - A wind speed based soft cut-in using a sigma interpolation is added for the IPC controller

Pitch Actuator - A first or second order filter can be used to model a pitch actuator

External Control Interface - Call another control library from ROSCO

ZeroMQ Interface - Communicate with an external routine via ZeroMQ. Only yaw control currently supported

Updated yaw control - Filter wind direction with deadband, and yaw until direction error changes signs (https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/1037/3/032011)

New in ROSCO 2.6.0

6.6. ROSCO v2.4.1 to ROSCO v2.5.0

Two filter parameters were added to - change the high pass filter in the floating feedback module - change the low pass filter of the wind speed estimator signal that is used in torque control

Open loop control inputs, users must specify: - The open loop input filename, an example can be found in Examples/Example_OL_Input.dat - Indices (columns) of values specified in OL_Filename

IPC - Proportional Control capabilities were added, 1P and 2P gains should be specified
