Wind Farm ********* The wind farm schema deals with parameters of the wind farm. Required are a :code:`layouts` definition and a :code:`turbines` definition. Additional properties can be included as needed, but don't currently have associated schemas. .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/plant/plant_wind_farm/IEA37_case_study_3_wind_farm.yaml :start-at: name: :end-at: turbines: .. _wind_farm_properties: Properties ========== :code:`layouts` : Object An object that has a required property :code:`coordinates`, which is an object that consists of two arrays, :code:`x` and :code:`y`, which contain the x- and y-coordinates for the turbines. :code:`turbines` : Object An object containing a nested dictionary with various turbine-defining parameters. For specfic properties, see :ref:`below `. .. _turbine_properties: turbine Properties ------------------ :code:`name` : String Unique identifier of the turbine. :code:`hub_height` : Number A number specifying the hub height of the turbine in meters. :code:`rotor_diameter` : Number A number specifying the rotor diameter of the turbine in meters. :code:`TSR` : Number A number specifying the tip-speed ratio of the turbine. :code:`performance` : Object An object containing a nested dictionary of turbine performance characteristics. Required combinations of properties include: #. :code:`Cp_curve` and :code:`Ct_curve` #. :code:`power_curve` and :code:`Ct_curve` #. :code:`rated_power`, :code:`rated_wind_speed`, :code:`cutin_wind_speed`, :code:`cutout_wind_speed`, and :code:`Ct_curve`. For specific properties, see :ref:`below `. .. _performance_properties: performance Properties ---------------------- :code:`Cp_curve` : Object An object containing a nested dictionary of Cp performance characteristics. Requires two arrays of :code:`Cp_values` and :code:`Cp_wind_speeds`. :code:`power_curve` : Object An object containing a nested dictionary of power performance characteristics. Requires two arrays of :code:`power_values` and :code:`power_wind_speeds`. :code:`Ct_curve` : Object An object containing a nested dictionary of Cp performance characteristics. Requires two arrays of :code:`Ct_values` and :code:`Ct_wind_speeds`. :code:`rated_wind_speed` : Number A number specifying the rated wind speed of the turbine in m/s. :code:`cutin_wind_speed` : Number A number specifying the cut-in wind speed of the turbine in m/s. :code:`cutout_wind_speed` : Number A number specifying the cut-out wind speed of the turbine in m/s. :code:`rated_power` : Number A number specifying the rated power of the turbine in W. .. _wind_farm_examples: Examples ======== Both :ref:`Farm Examples` and :ref:`Turbine Examples` are included below.
