Overview

MOST (Matlab for Offshore Simulation Tool), is a simulation tool operating in the WEC-Sim environment for simulating floating offshore wind turbines, hybrid wind-wave energy converters, platforms with multiple turbines, etc. MOST builds on WEC-Sim in MATLAB/Simulink to add windClass and windTurbineClass objects that can define a given turbine and weather conditions. Currently, MOST supports single-tower, three-bladed, horizontal-axis wind turbines controlled by Baseline or ROSCO controllers and providing geometric and inertial data as input.

MOST Developers

MOST is developed and maintained by the MORE Energy Lab, Politecnico di Torino, Italy. The WEC-Sim+MOST coupling is a collaboration between the MORE Energy Lab and the WEC-Sim developers at Sandia National Laboratories and the National Renewable Energy Lab.

Current members of the MOST development team include:

• Giovanni Bracco (PI)

• Emilio Faraggiana

• Alberto Ghigo

• Davide Issoglio

• Ermando Petracca

• Massimo Sirigu
