windpowerlib.wake_losses.reduce_wind_speed¶

windpowerlib.wake_losses.reduce_wind_speed(wind_speed, wind_efficiency_curve_name='dena_mean')[source]¶

Reduces wind speed by a wind efficiency curve.

The wind efficiency curves are provided in the windpowerlib and were calculated in the dena-Netzstudie II and in the work of Knorr (see [1] and [2]).

Parameters:

wind_speed (pandas.Series or numpy.array) – Wind speed time series.
wind_efficiency_curve_name (str) – Name of the wind efficiency curve. Use get_wind_efficiency_curve() to get all provided wind efficiency curves. Default: ‘dena_mean’.

Returns:

wind_speed reduced by wind efficiency curve.

Return type:

pandas.Series or np.array
