Multiple Locations simulation

Hello,
I am trying to use this script 'Run multiple locations.lk' to create 8760 time series generation for multiple weather years at once for a wind farm. It works well for PV, but is not working for wind. Are you aware of any scripts which do this? Or do you know how the script could be modified to work for wind?

Basically the script seems to work, but gives identical results for each weather file. Which doesn't happen when you run the project for each weather file manually (or when producing the P50/P90 results).

Thanks,
Henry

Hi Henry,

I suspect that your script is not assigning the wind power model weather file input correctly.

Here is a code snippet that shows how to set the weather file:

set('use_specific_wf_wind', 1);
set('user_specified_wf_wind', 'path/to/weather-file.csv');

The 'use_specific_wf_wind' input is the checkbox at the bottom of the Wind Resource input page that enables the 'user_specified_wf_wind' input, which is the path to the weather file (either an .srw or .csv file).

Best regards,
Paul.

Hi Paul,

Thank you, that worked perfectly. I was able to replace those two labels from the solar case.

Really appreciate the quick and clear support, as usual.

Best regards,
Henry

Hi Sarah Ahmed,

If the coordinates are close to each other, the results may have been the same because they used the same weather station information. For this reason, I classified the outputs I got in batches according to their weather station numbers.
