Enable passing power setpoints to wind simulators #76

Closed misi9170 closed 6 months ago

misi9170 commented 7 months ago

Floris v4 allows wind turbines to be derated by passing them power setpoints. This pull request takes advantage of that functionality and implements it in the FlorisStandin. However, AMRWind does not currently handle derating turbines, so this code will not change the power output from AMRWind. Additionally, we will need to check that when power_setpoints are passed to AMRWind, they are simply ignored, rather than throwing an error.

I am currently working on a pull request for WHOC that will take advantage of this derating capability in Hercules (with the FlorisStandin). Once that PR is in place and I'm happy that both features work, I'll change the DRAFT status of this PR.

Now allows users to specify external data in a separate csv file, as well as specifying the name of the output file in the input_dict. Addresses #78.
