How to create a wind site
Create a new wind site to forecast in the Rebase Platform.
What data do I need to create a new site
You will need to provide some data about the site, its assets and some settings about the forecasting models.
Type of the site type
Specify the type of the site. For a wind site it should be: wind
.
Name of the site name
Specify a name for the site. It is used to easily recognize the site. It is a string.
Example: My wind site
Latitude of the site location latitude
Specify the latitude of the site location. It takes a value between -90 and 90.
Example: 52.5
Longitude of the site location longitude
Specify the longitude of the site location. It takes a value between -180 and 180.
Example: 13.4
Assets assets
-
Wind turbine nominal power
nominal_power
Specify the nominal power of the wind turbine in kilowatts (kW). It is a positive number.
Example:3000
-
Number of wind turbines
nr_units
Specify the number of the wind turbines in the site. It is a positive integer number.
Example:3
-
Wind turbine model
turbine_type
Specify the wind turbine model. It is a string.
Example:V126/3000
-
Wind turbine hub height
hub_height
Specify the wind turbine hub height in meters (m). It is a positive number.
Example:119
-
Wind turbine rotor diameter
rotor_diameter
Specify the wind turbine rotor diameter in meters (m). It is a positive number.
Example:126
-
Installation date
install_date
Specify the date when the system was installed. It is a string with format: “YYYY-MM-DD”.
Example:2020-01-01
Settings settings
-
Model resolution
model_resolution
Specify how frequently the forecasts will be updated. It can be every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour or daily. It takes one of the following values:15min
,30min
,1h
or1d
. -
Train long-term models
trainLongTermModels
Specify if a model based on typical meteorological year should be trained for long-term forecasting. It takes one of the following values:true
orfalse
-
Train near-term models
trainNearTermModels
Specify if a model based on recent power observations should be trained for short-term forecasting. Power observations should be available in real time in this case. It takes one of the following values:true
orfalse
-
Use physical models
usePhysicalModels
Specify if a physical model should be trained. No training data are required for physical models to work. It takes one of the following values:true
orfalse
Example
The API response contains the ID of the new site.
