Reference wind turbine model developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for use in research and development, particularly for modeling and control studies, which has onshore and offshore versions of its design concept. It is a conventional, three-bladed, upwind variable-speed turbine that serves as a benchmark for the industry and is based on published design information from manufacturers.

QBlade is an advanced multi-physics wind turbine simulation software for comprehensive aero-servo-hydro-elastic design, prototyping, wind farm analysis, and certification of wind turbines.
