Example 03: Wind and solar hybrid plant

Description

In this setup, wind and solar are combined in a hybrid plant. For demonstration, the plant has a fixed interconnect limit of 3000 kW, which is much below the combined capacity of the wind and solar farms. A simple controller limits the solar power to keep the total power below the interconnect limit.

Setup

No manual setup is required. The example automatically generates the necessary input files (wind data, solar data, FLORIS configuration, and turbine model) in the centralized examples/inputs/ folder when first run.

Running

To run the example, execute the following command in the terminal:

python hercules_runscript.py

Outputs

To plot the outputs run the following command in the terminal:

python plot_outputs.py
