.yaml file

^{Originally posted by **prith-gs** December 8, 2022} Can I add a new (custom) wake deficit model on my own and use it to calculate AEP for a wind farm?

No matter how I configure the turbine radius and rotor diameter in the YAML file of the turbine library, it always defaults to 126m during application. How can I customize the turbine?

Hi @Qutianyuan0124 , thanks for the question! See my response over on #979

Closing this issue, as I believe it is resolved in #979

hello，

Recently, I have been researching how to optimize wind turbine layouts. When I use the Example layout method for optimization, I find that I cannot find the optimal layout. However, when I use the Generic random search for optimization, I notice that the turbine layout is very irregular and aesthetically unpleasing. Do you have any methods to ensure the turbines are arranged neatly and aligned with the dominant wind direction? I have tried using the SLSQP method, but I am unable to integrate it into the Generic random search code. Do you have any good suggestions for this?

sincerely， qutianyuan

Assuming that my dominant wind direction is from the west, how can I arrange the turbines neatly while ensuring a certain improvement in energy production? The image below shows my optimized layout, which appears very scattered.

Hi @Qutianyuan0124 ,

No, we don't currently have any in-built methods that generate "neat" layouts that also maximize AEP. We recently added a layout optimizer LayoutOptimizationGridded that does indeed generate gridded layouts (see #976, or this example)---however, the intention with that is to pack as many turbines as possible into a given boundary area, which is a proxy for maximizing AEP, rather than taking a fixed number of turbines and arranging them in a neat way to maximize AEP.

We'd be interested in what you find if you decide to build your own layout optimizer that maximizes AEP while keeping turbines in a neat arrangement!

I'm trying this example, when an error prompt is as follows: the from floris. Optimization. Layout_optimization. Layout_optimization_gridded import (

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'floris.optimization.layout_optimization.layout_optimization_gridded' Do I need to update floris or modify the configuration file. Also, I would be very grateful if you could tell me the path of the original code file about the optimized layout

Hi, I used genetic random search for optimization, but the yield was lower, and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Attached is my time series data, boundary and code files. Could you please help me check them.
