Technical drawings of a 2.3MW HAWT

Hi All,

As most of you are aware, it is difficult to obtain any kind of information regarding the sizing of full scale wind turbines be it the blade geometry or specifics about the rotor and tower separation distance etc. This is a general call to the community. Does anyone have a detailed technical drawing of a full scale wind turbine? Any will do but preferably something in the 2.3MW range as this is the size of the wind turbine I'm looking to model for CFD.

Regards,
Jer

I don't think you can access any commercial turbines like this. People sign NDA's with companies to get these kind of data so even if you could reach someone who has what you want, you won't be getting that.

Here is the NREL 5MW reference turbine-never built but designed for research purposes-, a bit bigger than what you want but should do the job.
