Hi Julius,
The
description of 'wind_turbine_hub_ht'
in the documentation of the Windpower module lists two dependent variables:
'wind_turbine_powercurve_powerout' and 'wind_turbine_powercurve_windspeeds'. This is because there is a relationship between the wind turbine power curve data and the height above the ground determined by 'wind_turbine_hub_ht'. If you change the turbine hub height, you may also need to change the power curve data. Depending on the purpose of your analysis, you could choose to ignore this relationship.
Similarly, the description of 'wind_farm_xCoordinates' and 'wind_farm_yCoordinates' mentions a dependence on rotor diameter: The turbines should be spaced to minimize wake effects and avoid the risk of blades from neighboring turbines touching each other.
And, yes, the
Wind Turbines.csv
turbine library file has the power curve data, power rating, and rotor diameter data you need to model the turbines in the library. Note that the power curve data is separated by pipes '|', so you'll need to consider that when you process the data. The library file does not include turbine hub heights. The turbine name and IEC class are not inputs to the Windpower model, so you can ignore those parameters.
Best regards,
Paul.
