validate_blade_clearance_regulations_input(hub_height=None, rotor_diameter=None, regulations_fpath=None)[source]

Validate the blade clearance initialization input

Parameters:

  • hub_height (float | int) – Turbine hub height (m), used along with rotor diameter to compute blade clearance. By default, None.

  • rotor_diameter (float | int) – Turbine rotor diameter (m), used along with hub height to compute blade clearance. By default, None.

  • regulations_fpath (str, optional) – Path to local regulations file. This is required for blade clearance exclusions since they are local-only. By default, None.
