NREL / OpenOA

This library provides a framework for assessing wind plant performance using operational assessment (OA) methodologies that consume time series data from wind plants. The goal of the project is to provide an open source implementation of common data structures, analysis methods, and utility functions relevant to wind plant OA.

Calculation of losses from 10-min SCADA data #283

Open charlie9578 opened 8 months ago

charlie9578 commented 8 months ago

Hi,

To mimic how a Technical Advisor would run a operational energy yield analysis (OEYAs) using SCADA data, I'd suggest the option to calculate the losses based on the 10-minute SCADA data (and potentially using events data too), rather than relying on user inputs/external sources for the losses. This is a key benefit of independent SCADA-based OEYAs, as availability is often not consistently reported.

The power curve filtering demonstrated in the 01_utils_examples and the 03_turbine_ideal_energy notebook both have some ability to achieve this aim, and so it might just be a case of demonstrating how this can be achieved in an example notebook.

Thanks, Charlie

@charlie9578 this is a great idea, especially if this could be achieved using existing functionality! Status code analysis are certainly an area of interest for us, but we don't have a great sense of them given data access and the wide variety of codes. It'd be great to get a sense if this is an expanded example or new feature from your perspective, which would help us determine how this could be prioritized. We're anticipating minimal internal feature development this year, just to be fully transparent.
