wflo (version 1.2)

Yield: Returns yearly yield for a turbine's location.

Description

For a turbine's location represented by x and y, looks up the (adjusted) yield from the matrix Adj. Internally transforms coordinates of x and y from problem space (usually unit square) to the matrix space of Adj.

Usage

Yield(x, y, Adj)

Arguments

x

must be a single value containing the 'x' location of a turbine in problem space.

y

must be a single value containing the 'y' location of a turbine in problem space.

Adj

a matrix containing adjusted yields. Usually, the first element of the list object FarmData will be used as this matrix.

Value

Yield returns a single value.

Details

Adjusted yields are the projected yearly average yields dependent on wind speed, hub height and other settings at each point in the raster data. Annual Energy Production (AEP) at a specific location, weighted by a location quality correction factor, produces adjusted yields. This adjustment returns a better guess on the marketable yield at a specific point. For details on the data, see the data set description to this package.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
Adj <- FarmData[[1]][e$FarmVars$StartPoint:e$FarmVars$EndPoint,
e$FarmVars$StartPoint:e$FarmVars$EndPoint]
Yield(0.5, 0.7, Adj)
## Returns adjusted yield for the given location.
