v2.5.3

Patch release for FLORIS v2 to fix an issue when both uncertainty and heterogeneity are used. Note that python version 3.8 is no longer officially supported as it is now at end of life.

What's Changed

• Fix bug in version 2 when wind direction uncertainty and heterogeneity are both used by @pjireland in #1115

• [BUGFIX] UncertainFlorisModel not correctly using ParFlorisModel by @misi9170 in #1107
• FLORIS v4.4.2 by @misi9170 in #1109

Full Changelog: v4.4.1...v4.4.2

v4.4.1

Patch release for FLORIS to provide extra turbine data when installing from PyPI and to make tests more thorough in checking that data is provided.

What's Changed

• [BUGFIX] Add demo_cp_ct_surface location to data files. by @misi9170 in #1095
• FLORIS v4.4.1 by @misi9170 in #1096

Full Changelog: v4.4...v4.4.1

v4.4

FLORIS v4.4 introduces two new turbine operation models, the ControllerDependentTurbine model and the UnifiedMomentumModelTurbine, developed at TUM and MIT, respectively, to FLORIS. These provide exciting options for advanced modeling of how turbines operate when yaw misaligned and derated.

Also included is a beta feature for representing the variable operating cost (VOC) of a turbine and optimizing for net revenue given operating costs. Finally, a bug fix for wakes of turbines implementing active wake mixing is included.

New features

• Add control-dependent operation model by @sTamaroTum in #832
• Add Unified Momentum Model to operation models by @jaimeliew1 in #924
• Add variable operating cost optimization by @paulf81 in #1054

Bug fixes

• [BUGFIX] AWC wake mixing factor with mixed awc_modes inputs by @gyalla in #1090

New Contributors

• @sTamaroTum made their first contribution in #832
• @jaimeliew1 made their first contribution in #924
