example.basic_example.initialise_wind_turbines()[source]

Initialises two WindTurbine objects.

Function shows two ways to initialise a WindTurbine object. You can either specify your own turbine, as done below for ‘myTurbine’, or fetch power and/or power coefficient curve data from data files provided by the windpowerlib, as done for the ‘enerconE126’. Execute windpowerlib.wind_turbine.get_turbine_types() or windpowerlib.wind_turbine.get_turbine_types( filename='power_coefficient_curves.csv') to get a list of all wind turbines for which power and power coefficient curves respectively are provided.

Returns:
Return type:Tuple (WindTurbine, WindTurbine)
