JensenTrapezoid

Provided a wind direction, a point and a downwind length, computes the corner points of a Jensen trapezoid (in the literature oftentimes called a 'cone').

Jensen

Provides a convenient data set, a set of helper functions, and a benchmark function for
economically (profit) driven wind farm layout optimization. This enables researchers in the field
of the NP-hard (non-deterministic polynomial-time hard) problem of wind farm layout optimization
to focus on their optimization methodology contribution and also provides a realistic benchmark
setting for comparability among contributions. See Croonenbroeck, Carsten & Hennecke, David (2020)
