IEC mounting arrangement validation #32

Open stephenholleran opened 3 years ago

@stephenholleran

Should we create additional properties within the class that are defined in IEC? For example, should we expose to the user the area of projected members even though the final value that we're trying to calculate is a Boolean variable that tells whether the boom is too short or not? From my point of view exposing those properties to the user adds clarity, but we may end up with many of them and that may result in additional documentation.

Hi @kersting,

If you are talking about the solidity and Ct (maybe even the projected areas) then yeah, I think that would be a good idea. If the result is a False, i.e. the anemometer mounting does not satisfy IEC guidelines then the user may want to investigate where things might be going wrong for them.

Hey @kersting, We are just curating the issue logs and are wondering if there is any possible action in the near term on this? Cheers,

Hello, @stephenholleran and @abohara the best case scenario is that I could potentially provide the python code for doing the IEC checks but the function that loops through the mast would not be shared. Would that still be interesting for the IEA task 43 community? Who would build the function for looping through the measurement points?

stephenholleran commented 3 months ago

Hey @kersting,

That would be great to share. The hard bit is the calculation which you aim to share, the easy bit (I expect) is looping through the measurement points.

I suppose I would be able to give this a go myself.

Cheers,
