windkit.wind_turbine.wtg_ct

windkit.wind_turbine.wtg_ct(wtg, ws=None, *, interp_method='linear', ct_stat=None)[source]

Get the thrust coefficient of a Wind Turbine Generator for given wind speed(s). If the given wind speed(s) do not have an associated thrust coefficient, it is interpolated between data points.

Parameters:

  • wtg (xr.Dataset) – WindKit Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) Dataset

  • ws (array_like, floats) – Wind speeds to obtain WTG power for.

  • interp_method (str) – Interpolation method to use between provided table values. Uses xr.DataArray.interp

  • ct_stat (float) – Stationary thrust coefficient to be used when the dataset does not have it.

Returns:

Thrust coefficients for the given wind speeds

Return type:

xr.DataArray
