Examples Reference#

This page will provide a brief overview of the varying examples available in the examples folder on GitHub.

archival/#

This contains the old notebooks and data used to prepare the unveiling of the model to DOE. The results are displayed in presentations section of the documentation.

Ongoing Analysis Work & Default Data Results Demonstration#

COWER_om_worflow.ipynb#

This workflow example demonstrates the new (as of v0.13) default offshore wind data sets and the O&M portion of the NREL Cost of Wind Energy Review (COWER) analysis. The underlying data and example are kept up to date every year for this project, so the data will be updated annually (as of 2025).

Explanations#

The following notebooks are aimed at demonstrating and explaining various functionality to users.

how_to.ipynb#

This is a Jupyter Notebook version of the How To section of the documentation that allows users to interact with the walk through.

strategy_demonstration.ipynb#

This is a Jupyter Notebook version of the Strategy Demonstration section of the documentation that allows users to interact with the walk through.

default_data_demonstration.ipynb#

This is a Jupyter Notebook version of the Default Data Demonstration section of the documentation that allows users to interact with the examples.

metrics_demonstration.ipynb#

This is a Jupyter Notebook version of the Metrics Demonstration section of the documentation that allows users to interact with the varying maintenance strategy models.

NAWEA_interactive_walkthrough.ipynb#

This is the notebook used for the NAWEA WindTech 2023 Workshop. See here for details.

electrolyzer_example.ipynb#

Demonstrates how to set up and run a standalone electrolyzer simulation within WOMBAT's wind farm framework.

Validation#

Note

These example are no longer recalibrated for updated releases, and are merely kept up to date with WOMBAT's input changes.

avanessova_2025.ipynb#

This example demonstrates the WOMBAT analysis portion of the 2025 doctoral dissertation by Nadezda Avanessova [1], which in part focuses on a comparison of ORE Catapult's COMPASS, WavEC's O&M Tool, and NREL's WOMBAT for offshore wind O&M. This example was originally run in v0.8.1, and updated to v0.12, so some results will differ from what was published.

dinwoodie_validation.ipynb#

This shows the latest results of the model validation using the modeling parameters from Dinwoodie, et al., 2015 [2].

iea_26_validation.ipynb#

This shows the latest results of the model validation using the modeling parameters from IEA, 2016 [3].

timing_benchmarks.ipynb#

This notebook is a simple benchmark for comparing run times between releases from NREL's FY22 & FY23. That said, there has been a change in computers since running this, and the listed times for v0.7 in the notebooks will not match those in this example.
