FarmData: Data set for wind farm layout optimization.

Description

This list object contains four matrices covering adjusted yield, wind speed, wind direction and standard deviations of wind directions in Germany.

Usage

FarmData

Format

A list object containing four matrices, each containing 25 x 25 values at a raster resolution of 200 x 200 m (note that for the larger data set downloadable using AcquireData, each matrix contains 4400 x 3250 values):

$AdjustedYield: Yield is average annual energy production (AEP). According to FGW technical guidelines, AEP is adjusted due to different location qualities to obtain a better guess at the marketable energy output. Interpret these values directly as 'megawatt hours per year'.

$WindSpeed: Average wind speeds in meters per second.

$WindDirection: Average wind directions in degrees (azimuth system).

$SDDirection: Standard deviations of wind directions in degrees (azimuth system).

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# 'Profit' uses this data set internally:
NumTurbines <- 4
set.seed(1357)
Result <- optim(par = runif(NumTurbines * 2), fn = Profit, method = "L-BFGS-B",
  lower = rep(0, NumTurbines * 2), upper = rep(1, NumTurbines * 2))
Result
PlotResult(Result)
