Example: Layout optimization with WindRoseWRG comparison#
"""Example: Layout optimization with WindRoseWRG comparison
This example compares a layout optimization using a WindRoseWRG. In the example, two
turbine positions are optimized within a square grid. The optimization is run 3 times:
1. Using a WindRoseWRG object generated using the example wrg file
2. Using a WindRose object created from the WindRoseWRG object
3. Using a WindRose object created from the WindRoseWRG object, but with the HeterogeneousMap
also generated by the WindRoseWRG object
Because the WRG file includes a speed-up for northern winds, optimizaitions (1) and (3) place both
turbines near the northern boundary of the grid, while optimization (2) places the turbines in the
furthest corners of the grid. The optimization illustrates that using the full WindRoseWRG object
produces a similar result to the WindRose object with the HeterogeneousMap, since they both
can represent the difference in resource for different locations. The HeterogeneousMap may have
advantage for larger cases since it is running with only 1 wind speed. For this example the results
and performance are similar.
