windpowerlib.power_output.p_curve¶

windpowerlib.power_output.p_curve(p_values, v_wind)[source]¶

Calculates the turbine power output using a power curve.

This function is carried out when the parameter power_output_model of an instance of the Modelchain class is ‘p_values’ and the parameter density_corr is False.

Parameters:	p_values (pandas.DataFrame) – Power curve of the wind turbine. Indices are the wind speeds of the power curve in m/s, the corresponding power values in W are in the column ‘P’. v_wind (pandas.Series or array) – Wind speed at hub height in m/s.
Returns:	power_output – Electrical power output of the wind turbine in W.
Return type:	pandas.Series

Notes

It is assumed that the power output for wind speeds above the maximum wind speed given in the power curve is zero.
