Generator sensor

The Generator  sensor can be added by toggling on the  Sensor button shown in the following picture

The Generator sensor provides the following fields

Field	Unit	Description
Power (electrical)	W	Electrical power output by the generator. This includes the generator losses
Torque	Nm	Mechanical torque on the axis (shaft) of the generator. Typically called the high-speed shaft.
Torque on main shaft	Nm	Mechanical torque on the main shaft (low-speed shaft) of the rotor. The  Torque and the  Torque on main shaft  are linked through the  Gearbox ratio. For direct drive (no gearbox) this is the same as the Torque. Note: The units are different (Nm vs. kNm).
Torque diff. on main shaft	Nm	Difference between the aerodynamic torque (in the low-speed shaft) and the resisting generator torque, on the main shaft
RPM	rpm	Revolutions per minute of the generator axis (shaft). Linked to the RPM of the rotor through the  Gearbox  ratio. For direct drive (no gearbox) then the RPM of the genertator is identical to the RPM of the rotor.
Filtered RPM	rpm	Some controllers don't use the real RPM as an input, as this can induce high frequency excitation. This output shows the filtered RPM. If no filtering is applied, this will be the same as RPM. See  Jonkman et al. (2009b)  for more information.
Electricity production	Wh	Energy produced during the simulation, calculated by integrating the electrical power over the simulation.
Region	-	Current region for the controller, only applicable to variable speed generators. See  Jonkman et al. (2009b)  for more information.
Estimated Power	W	Estimated mechanical power on the generator. This is only relevant for a generator with a wind-estimation controller
Estimated Wind	m.s-1	Wind speed estimated by the controller from the current operating point. This is only relevant for a generator with a wind-estimation controller
