Example 00b: Wind Farm SCADA Power

Description

This example demonstrates the use of WindFarmSCADAPower to simulate a wind farm using pre-recorded SCADA power data. WindFarmSCADAPower is primarily useful when the actual turbine powers are provided and we want to play back the pre-recorded power data. There is no option to control the turbine powers; they are simply played back at the pre-recorded power levels.

Setup

As in example 00, the wind farm is a small 3 turbine farm and the input is automatically generated. For WindFarmSCADAPower this input is a history of pre-recorded turbine power data in inputs/scada_input.ftr.

Running

To run the example, execute the following command in the terminal:

python hercules_runscript.py

Outputs

To plot the outputs, run the following command in the terminal:

python plot_outputs.py
