Example: Multi-dimensional Cp/Ct data#
This example creates a FLORIS instance and:1) Makes a two-turbine layout2) Demonstrates single ws/wd simulations3) Demonstrates multiple ws/wd simulationswith the modification of using a turbine definition that has a multi-dimensional Cp/Ct table.In the input file gch_multi_dim_cp_ct.yaml
, the turbine_type points to a turbine definition,iea_15MW_floating_multi_dim_cp_ct.yaml located in the turbine_library,that supplies a multi-dimensional Cp/Ct data file in the form of a .csv file. This .csv filecontains two additional conditions to define Cp/Ct values for: Tp for wave period, and Hs for waveheight. For every combination of Tp and Hs defined, a Cp/Ct/Wind speed table of values is alsodefined. It is required for this .csv file to have the last 3 columns be ws, Cp, and Ct. In orderfor this table to be used, the flag 'multi_dimensional_cp_ct' must be present and set to true inthe turbine definition. With this flag enabled, the solver will down-select to use theinterpolant defined at the closest conditions. The user must supply these conditions in themain input file under the 'flow_field' section, e.g.:NOTE: The multi-dimensional Cp/Ct data used in this example is fictional for the purposes offacilitating this example. The Cp/Ct values for the different wave conditions are scaledvalues of the original Cp/Ct data for the IEA 15MW turbine.flow_field: multidim_conditions: Tp: 2.5 Hs: 3.01The solver will then use the nearest-neighbor interpolant. These conditions are currently globaland used to select the interpolant at each turbine.Also note in the example below that there is a specific method for computing powers whenusing turbines with multi-dimensional Cp/Ct data under FlorisModel, called'get_turbine_powers_multidim'. The normal 'get_turbine_powers' method will not work.
