windkit.binned_wind_climate

Binned wind climate module

When measuring the wind speed and wind direction over a time period, one can create a histogram by counting the frequency of occurence for each wind speed and direction bin.

Because there can be large differences in the wind climate when the wind is coming from different wind directions, a binned wind distribution is usually specified per wind direction sector.

A valid Weibull wind climate therefore has a dimension sector and the variables wsbin and wdfreq. Also it must have a valid spatial structure. This module contains functions that operate on and create binned wind climates. This includes the ability to create bwc datasets both from files and from existing data, the ability to calculate common parameters from the bwc object, and the ability to write them to the legacy .tab format.
