How to automate a few things

[brunofunk]

Hi, I'm looking for ways to automate the following within WAsP:

1. Update the analysis heights of each WRG and RSF automatically rather than manually changing the height of each.

2. Export all production and wake output reports automatically as opposed to manually exporting them in HTML/Word one at a time.

3. Is it possible to have the UTM coordinates pulled from a TAB file and have those automatically filled in for the met station and point file?

Any ideas how to do these are welcome. Thanks in advance!

Hi Bruno,

Sorry that your message has gone unanswered for so long.

1) You could use a script to change the height of all resource grids in a workspace or project to some new value. We can post a script example of how to do this here. Where would the new height value come from? Would you want to type if in, or read it from a file?

2) Do you want to generate multiple reports in a single step, or do you want to collate them into a single report? Which report exactly are you talking about here? Is it the "Wind farm report with wake model output"?

3) We've discussed the idea of automatically converting the geographical co-ordinates in the TAB file into metric coordinates for the met. station, but the team decided that the lat/lon location for the TAB are just supposed to be indicative of the general location, not a specific site location. For example, they might be expected to be accurate to only a couple of minutes.

We're planning to change the program so that you will see a warning if you enter a metric co-ordinate location for the met station which is more than a kilometre from the location implied by the TAB's geographical location and the map projection.

Duncan.
