A data.frame giving the blade's chord width profile, i.e. the chord width
along the length of the blade, provided as a proportion of its maximum width.
A dataframe
- pp_radius
radius at bird passage point, as a proportion of rotor radius (R)
- chord
chord width at pp_radius, as a proportion of the maximum chord width
Details
This is a generic profile for a typical modern 5MW turbine used for offshore generation.
Due to commercial sensitivities by blade manufacturers, some of this detailed
information may not be readily available for each make/model of blade and
hence generic information may have to be used.
Note
"chord_prof_5MW" is numerically identical to "coverC".
"coverC" should become deprecated in future versions of the code
