Example 03: Wind and solar hybrid plant

Example 03: Wind and solar hybrid plant#

Description#

In this setup, wind and solar are simulated together in a hybrid plant. A simple controller can be used to curtail the solar power to keep the total power below the interconnect limit.

Setup#

No manual setup is required. The example automatically generates the necessary input files (wind data, solar data, FLORIS configuration, and turbine model) in the centralized examples/inputs/ folder when first run.

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
