ard.wind_query

Classes

WindQuery([directions, speeds, TIs])

A class that manages sets of wind conditions to query that can operate for different types and fidelities of aerodynamic solvers without loss of generality.

class ard.wind_query.WindQuery(directions=None, speeds=None, TIs=None)

A class that manages sets of wind conditions to query that can operate for different types and fidelities of aerodynamic solvers without loss of generality.

Parameters:

• directions (np.ndarray)

• speeds (np.ndarray)

• TIs (np.ndarray)

set_directions(directions)

Set the directions on a WindQuery object.

Return type:

None

Parameters:

directions (np.ndarray) -- the directions of the wind resource to be assigned, in degrees

set_speeds(speeds)

Set the wind speeds on a WindQuery object.

Return type:

None

Parameters:

speeds (np.ndarray) -- the speeds of the wind resource to be assigned, in meters/second

set_TIs(TIs)

Set the turbulence intensities on a WindQuery object.

Return type:

None

Parameters:

TIs (float or np.ndarray) -- the turbulence intensity value or values of the wind resource to be assigned, non-dimensionally

set_TI_using_IEC_method()

Re-set the turbulence intensities using the FLORIS IEC method interface.

Return type:

None

get_directions()

Get the directions from the wind query object.

Return type:

ndarray

get_speeds()

Get the wind speeds from the wind query object.

Return type:

ndarray

get_TIs()

Get the turbulence intensities from the wind query object.

Return type:

ndarray

is_valid()

Ensure that the specified wind conditions are valid.

Return type:

bool

from_FLORIS_WindData()

Turn a FLORIS WindData object into a (more general) WindQuery object.

Return type:

WindQuery

Parameters:

winddata_FLORIS (floris.wind_data.WindDataBase) -- A FLORIS wind data object derived from the WindDataBase base class.

Returns:

A WindQuery object that represents that same wind data as the FLORIS wind data object.

Return type:

WindQuery
