Import AEP values from own tool

Hello all,I am currently setting up my first simulations in PySAM, specifically using the Windpower, Grid, Utilityrate5, and Singleowner modules. However, I utilize my own tool for AEP/WAKE/FARM performance calculations.Could you please inform me about the output variables from the "Windpower" module that are used by the financial modules? Additionally, how can I modify these variables to input the AEP values calculated by my own tool into the financial model? Is there any example available?I hope my questions are clear, and I appreciate your support in advance.Best regards,

Hi Victor,

SAM's financial models use a few outputs from the performance model. You can see those listed for the Singleowner module in the PySAM documenation here: nrel-pysam.readthedocs.io/en/main/modules/Singleowner.html#systemoutput-group

The financial model requires hourly or subhourly time series production data so that it can model time-varying power prices.

If your wind power model only generates annual energy production (AEP) in kWh, you could convert that to a constant 8760-hour generation profile in kW and assign it to the financial model 'gen' input. That would only work if your project does not involve time-varying power prices or financial incentives.

Best regards,
Paul.
