windkit.binned_wind_climate.bwc_power_density(bwc, bysector=False, air_density=1.225)[source]

Calculate the power density

Calculates the power density using a standard atmosphere air density of 1.225 kg m-3

Parameters:
  • bwc (xarray.Dataset) – Binned wind climate xr.Dataset object.

  • bysector (bool) – Return sectorwise mean wind speed if True. Defaults to False.

  • air_dens (float) – Air density. Default set to 1.225 kg.m^-3.

Returns:

bwc – Power density of the bwc.

Return type:

xarray.DataArray
