class WindFarm(object):
r"""
Defines a standard set of wind farm attributes.
Parameters
----------
wind_turbine_fleet : :pandas:`pandas.DataFrame<frame>` or list(:class:`~windpowerlib.wind_turbine.WindTurbineGroup`)
The wind turbine fleet specifies the turbine types in the wind farm and
their corresponding number or total installed capacity. There are
different options to provide the wind turbine fleet (see also examples
below):
* :pandas:`pandas.DataFrame<frame>` -
DataFrame must have columns 'wind_turbine' containing a
:class:`~.wind_turbine.WindTurbine` object and either
'number_of_turbines' (number of wind turbines of the same turbine
type in the wind farm, can be a float) or 'total_capacity'
(installed capacity of wind turbines of the same turbine type in the
wind farm).
* list(:class:`~windpowerlib.wind_turbine.WindTurbineGroup`) -
A :class:`~windpowerlib.wind_turbine.WindTurbineGroup` can be created
from a :class:`~windpowerlib.wind_turbine.WindTurbine` using the
:func:`~windpowerlib.wind_turbine.WindTurbine.to_group` method.
* list(dict) -
It is still possible to use a list of dictionaries (see example) but
we recommend to use one of the other options above.
efficiency : float or :pandas:`pandas.DataFrame<frame>` or None (optional)
Efficiency of the wind farm. Provide as either constant (float) or
power efficiency curve (pd.DataFrame) containing 'wind_speed' and
'efficiency' columns with wind speeds in m/s and the corresponding
dimensionless wind farm efficiency. Default: None.
name : str (optional)
Can be used as an identifier of the wind farm. Default: ''.
Attributes
----------
wind_turbine_fleet : :pandas:`pandas.DataFrame<frame>`
Wind turbines of wind farm. DataFrame must have 'wind_turbine'
(contains a :class:`~.wind_turbine.WindTurbine` object) and
'number_of_turbines' (number of wind turbines of the same turbine type
in the wind farm) as columns.
efficiency : float or :pandas:`pandas.DataFrame<frame>` or None
Efficiency of the wind farm. Either constant (float) power efficiency
curve (pd.DataFrame) containing 'wind_speed' and 'efficiency'
columns with wind speeds in m/s and the corresponding
dimensionless wind farm efficiency. Default: None.
name : str
If set this is used as an identifier of the wind farm.
hub_height : float
The calculated mean hub height of the wind farm. See
:py:func:`mean_hub_height` for more information.
power_curve : :pandas:`pandas.DataFrame<frame>` or None
The calculated power curve of the wind farm. See
:py:func:`assign_power_curve` for more information.

r"""
Calculates the power curve of a wind farm.
The wind farm power curve is calculated by aggregating the power curves
of all wind turbines in the wind farm. Depending on the parameters the
power curves are smoothed (before or after the aggregation) and/or a
wind farm efficiency (power efficiency curve or constant efficiency) is
applied after the aggregation.
After the calculations the power curve is assigned to the attribute
:py:attr:`~power_curve`.
Parameters
----------
wake_losses_model : str
Defines the method for taking wake losses within the farm into
consideration. Options: 'wind_farm_efficiency' or None.
Default: 'wind_farm_efficiency'.
smoothing : bool
If True the power curves will be smoothed before or after the
aggregation of power curves depending on `smoothing_order`.
Default: False.
block_width : float
Width between the wind speeds in the sum of the equation in
:py:func:`~.power_curves.smooth_power_curve`. Default: 0.5.
standard_deviation_method : str
Method for calculating the standard deviation for the Gauss
distribution. Options: 'turbulence_intensity',
'Staffell_Pfenninger'. Default: 'turbulence_intensity'.
smoothing_order : str
Defines when the smoothing takes place if `smoothing` is True.
Options: 'turbine_power_curves' (to the single turbine power
curves), 'wind_farm_power_curves'.
Default: 'wind_farm_power_curves'.
turbulence_intensity : float
Turbulence intensity at hub height of the wind farm for power curve
smoothing with 'turbulence_intensity' method. Can be calculated
from `roughness_length` instead. Default: None.
roughness_length : float (optional)
Roughness length. If `standard_deviation_method` is
'turbulence_intensity' and `turbulence_intensity` is not given
the turbulence intensity is calculated via the roughness length.
