ard.layout.templates

Classes

LanduseTemplate(**kwargs)	A template class for landuse computations.
LayoutTemplate(**kwargs)	A template class for layout parametrizations.

class ard.layout.templates.LayoutTemplate(**kwargs)

A template class for layout parametrizations.

This is a template class that represents the fundamental input/output flow for a layout parametrization. This means outputting $(x,y)$ tuples (via x_turbines and y_turbines) for the `N_turbines in the farm, and outputting effective spacing metrics (for, e.g., simple BOS tools).

Options

modeling_optionsdict

a modeling options dictionary

N_turbinesint

the number of turbines that should be in the farm layout

Inputs

None

Outputs

x_turbinesnp.ndarray

a 1-D numpy array that represents that x (i.e. Easting) coordinate of the location of each of the turbines in the farm in meters

y_turbinesnp.ndarray

a 1-D numpy array that represents that y (i.e. Northing) coordinate of the location of each of the turbines in the farm in meters

spacing_effective_primaryfloat

a measure of the spacing on a primary axis of a rectangular farm that would be equivalent to this one for the purposes of computing BOS costs measured in rotor diameters

spacing_effective_secondaryfloat

a measure of the spacing on a secondary axis of a rectangular farm that would be equivalent to this one for the purposes of computing BOS costs measured in rotor diameters

initialize()

Initialization of OM component.

setup()

Setup of OM component.

setup_partials()

Derivative setup for OM component.

compute()

Computation for the OM component.

For a template class this is not implemented and raises an error!

class ard.layout.templates.LanduseTemplate(**kwargs)

A template class for landuse computations.

This is a template class that represents the fundamental input/output flow for a landuse calculation. Most details will be specialized based on use case, but most fundamentally it will intake a layback distance and output a simple area computation.

Options

modeling_optionsdict

a modeling options dictionary

N_turbinesint

the number of turbines that should be in the farm layout

Inputs

distance_layback_diametersfloat

the number of diameters of layback desired for the landuse calculation

Outputs

area_tightfloat

the area in square kilometers that the farm occupies based on the circumscribing geometry with a specified (default zero) layback buffer

initialize()

Initialization of OM component.

setup()

Setup of OM component.

setup_partials()

Derivative setup for OM component.

compute()

Computation for the OM component.

For a template class this is not implemented and raises an error!
