I have a code that I use to obtain wind speed and capacity factor for a specific latitude and longitude using the wind_gen_standard_losses_0.json file. I'm wondering how the results would differ if I use a hub height of 120m instead of the default 80m. Would I need to modify other settings in the wind_gen_standard_losses_0.json file if I change the hub height?

"""
Generates or retrieves generation data for a specific site.
Args:
- Site (str): Name of the site.
- resource (str): Type of energy resource.
- year (int): The year for which the data is being generated.
- pp (ProjectPoints): ProjectPoints object containing site data.
- sam_fp (str): Path to the SAM file.
