reV.utilities.curtailment.curtail

curtail(resource, curtailment, random_seed=0)[source]

Curtail the SAM wind resource object based on project points.

Parameters:

  • resource (rex.sam_resource.SAMResource) – SAM resource object for WIND resource.

  • curtailment (reV.config.curtailment.Curtailment) – Curtailment config object.

  • random_seed (int | NoneType) – Number to seed the numpy random number generator. Used to generate reproducable psuedo-random results if the probability of curtailment is not set to 1. Numpy random will be seeded with the system time if this is None.

Returns:

resource (reV.handlers.sam_resource.SAMResource) – Same as the input argument but with the wind speed dataset set to zero where curtailment is in effect.
