Adding new turbine to .csv file was created by jbuttles

I can't get SAM to show the power curve for my new turbine. The turbine shows up but when I select it, the power curve does not show. I added the text file carefully in Excel in line with existing formats. What might be wrong?

Hi John,

Would you mind sharing a copy of the CSV file so I can help troubleshoot?

Thanks,
Paul.

Hi John,

Thank you for emailing me your file.

It looks like the number of power values in the power curve data is less than the number of wind speed values. I counted 161 wind speed values ranging from 0 to 40 m/s in increments of 0.25. There are only 111 power values for wind speeds between 0 and 27.5. You can fix the power curve data by either removing the wind speed values above 27.5 m/s, or setting the power values for those wind speeds to zero.

Best regards,
Paul.
