Timeseries data

In this example we calculate the data of a wind farm with 67 turbines in a time series containing 8000 uniform inflow states.

The required imports are:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from plotly.offline import iplot

import foxes
import foxes.variables as FV
from foxes.utils.runners import DaskRunner

First, we create the model book, making sure it contains the desired turbine type model:

# we are only using models that are provided by default, hence
# no addition to the model book is required.
mbook = foxes.ModelBook()

# if you wish to add a model based on a specific file, do as follows:
#mbook.turbine_types["NREL5"] = foxes.models.turbine_types.PCtFile(
#    "NREL-5MW-D126-H90.csv"
#)

Next, we create the states. The data_source can be any csv-type file (or pandas readable equivalent), or a pandas.DataFrame object. If it is a file path, then it will first be searched in the file system, and if not found, in the static data. If it is also not found there, an error showing the available static data file names is displayed.

In this example the static data file timeseries_8000.csv.gz will be used, with content

Time,ws,wd,ti
2017-01-01 00:00:00,15.62,244.06,0.0504
2017-01-01 00:30:00,15.99,243.03,0.0514
2017-01-01 01:00:00,16.31,243.01,0.0522
2017-01-01 01:30:00,16.33,241.26,0.0523
...

Notice the column names, and how they appear in the Timeseries constructor:

states = foxes.input.states.Timeseries(
    data_source="timeseries_8000.csv.gz",
    output_vars=[FV.WS, FV.WD, FV.TI, FV.RHO],
    var2col={FV.WS: "ws", FV.WD: "wd", FV.TI: "ti"},
    fixed_vars={FV.RHO: 1.225},
)

We can visualize the wind distribution via the StatesRosePlotOutput. Here we display the ambient wind speed in a wind rose with 16 wind direction sectors and 5 wind speed bins:

o = foxes.output.StatesRosePlotOutput(states, point=[0., 0., 100.])
fig = o.get_figure(16, FV.AMB_WS, [0, 3.5, 6, 10, 15, 20])
iplot(fig)
