Abstract This paper deals with the mechatronic design of a large-scale wind turbine model (outdoor scaled prototype) based on the DTU 10MW. This is going to be integrated in the model of a multi-purpose floating structure to be deployed at the Natural Ocean Engineering Laboratory (NOEL) in Reggio Calabria (Italy). The floating wind turbine model is the downscaling of the full-scale structure designed within the EU H2020 Blue Growth Farm project. The structural design of the scaled wind turbine is presented, starting from the aeroelastic and aerodynamic design carried out in a previous work.

Abstract This paper discusses the methodology introduced by the authors to design a large-scale wind turbine model starting from the DTU 10MW RWT. The wind turbine will be coupled with the model of a multi-purpose floating structure, designed within the EU H2020 Blue Growth Farm project, and it will be deployed at the Natural Ocean Engineering Laboratory (NOEL). In this paper the different strategies used to design the wind turbine model rotor, tower and nacelle are discussed, focusing on how it has been possible to reproduce the full-scale system aero-elastic response while ensuring the same functionalities of a real wind turbine.
