Functions

create_windresource_from_windIO(windIOdict)

takes a windIO plant specification and creates an appropriate wind resource

Classes

BatchFarmPowerTemplate(**kwargs)

Template component for computing power using a farm aerodynamics model.

FarmAEPTemplate(**kwargs)

ard.farm_aero.templates.create_windresource_from_windIO(windIOdict, resource_type=None)[source]#

takes a windIO plant specification and creates an appropriate wind resource

Parameters:

  • windIOdict (dict) -- a full, presumed validated, windIO plant specification file

  • resource_type (str, optional) -- one of "probability", "timeseries", "weibull_sector" indicating, either a "probability"-based representation by a FLORIS WindRose object, a "timeseries" representation using a FLORIS TimeSeries object, or a "weibull_sector" representation which has not yet been implemented

Returns:

a FLORIS wind resource object that encodes the windIO wind resource

Return type:

floris.WindDataBase

Raises:

  • KeyError -- if the input file is not read correctly

  • ValueError -- if values found in the input file have an issue

  • NotImplementedError -- if an unimplemented case is found

class ard.farm_aero.templates.FarmAeroTemplate(**kwargs)[source]#

Template component for using a farm aerodynamics model.

A farm aerodynamics component, based on this template, will compute the aerodynamics for a farm with some layout and yaw configuration.

Options#

modeling_optionsdict

a modeling options dictionary

Inputs#

x_turbinesnp.ndarray

a 1D numpy array indicating the x-dimension locations of the turbines, with length N_turbines

y_turbinesnp.ndarray

a 1D numpy array indicating the y-dimension locations of the turbines, with length N_turbines

yaw_turbinesnp.ndarray

a numpy array indicating the yaw angle to drive each turbine to with respect to the ambient wind direction, with length N_turbines

Outputs#

None
