PyWake and OpenFAST based Simulated wind farm – Generated Power and Wake Optimization 1. Continue development of a simulated wind farm using PyWake and start development using OpenFAST to achieve: a. Prediction of power generated per wind turbine and by the wind farm b. Prediction of wake from each turbine to all others c. Addition of turbine performance multipliers d. Confirm batch mode operation e. Addition of real time mode simulation f. Ability to add layout of a wind farm, turbine manufacturer, model and performance multipliers g. Ability to save this simulation with a wind farm name for easy retrieval 2. Continue work in Streamlit on a graphical user interface front end of PyWake and OpenFAST to change inputs to the wind farm such as: a. Wind speed b. Wind direction c. Wind density d. Wind rose diagram e. Number of wind turbine generators f. Location of wind turbine generators g. Importing of wind farm layout (X/Y coordinates) h. Trends of all input and output parameters 3. Ability to: a. Adjust yaw on each wind turbine b. Adjust pitch on each wind turbine
