API changes
215
#############
6+
* The :class:`~windpowerlib.wind_turbine.WindTurbine` API has been revised. Main changes are that the parameters `fetch_curve` and `data_source` have been removed.
7+
These parameters were formerly used to specify whether the power or power coefficient curve should be retrieved and the source to retrieve them from.
8+
Now per default the power curve and/or power coefficient curve are tried to be retrieved from the oedb turbine library that is provided along with the windpowerlib
9+
and holds turbine data for a large set of wind turbines. Further important changes are the renaming of the parameter `name` to `turbine_type` and the removal
10+
of the `coordinates`.
11+
See the :class:`~windpowerlib.wind_turbine.WindTurbine` docstring and `Initialize wind turbine` in the :ref:`examples_section_label` section for more information.
12+
(`PR 62 <https://github.com/wind-python/windpowerlib/pull/62>`)
13+
* The :class:`~windpowerlib.wind_farm.WindFarm` API has been revised. The `wind_turbine_fleet` parameter can now be provided as a pandas DataFrame
14+
(`PR 63 <https://github.com/wind-python/windpowerlib/pull/63>`_) or as a list using the :func:`~windpowerlib.wind_turbine.WindTurbine.to_group` method
15+
(`PR 68 <https://github.com/wind-python/windpowerlib/pull/68>`_. Furthermore, the option to specify the wind turbine fleet using the total installed capacity
16+
of each turbine type has been added. See the :class:`~windpowerlib.wind_farm.WindFarm` docstring and `Initialize wind farm` in the :ref:`examples_section_label` section for more information.
17+
* get_installed_power() methods in :class:`~windpowerlib.wind_farm.WindFarm` and :class:`~windpowerlib.wind_turbine_cluster.WindTurbineCluster` were removed. Installed power is instead now directly calculated inside the nominal_power getter.
2218
* Removed unnecessary `wake_losses_model` parameter in :py:func:`~.power_curves.wake_losses_to_power_curve`. Whether a constant wind farm efficiency or a wind farm efficiency curve is used is decided by the type of the wind farm efficiency.
2319
* Combined options 'constant_efficiency' and 'power_efficiency_curve' of `wake_losses_model` parameter in :py:func:`~.turbine_cluster_modelchain.TurbineClusterModelChain` to 'wind_farm_efficiency'. Therefore, default value of `wake_losses_model` in :py:func:`~.wind_farm.WindFarm.assign_power_curve` and :py:func:`~.wind_turbine_cluster.WindTurbineCluster.assign_power_curve` changed to 'wind_farm_efficiency'.
2420
* Removed `overwrite` parameter from :py:func:`~.wind_turbine.get_turbine_data_from_oedb`
25-
* Removed `data_source` and `fetch_curve` parameters from :py:func:`~.wind_turbine.WindTurbine` and :py:func:`~.wind_turbine.WindTurbine.fetch_turbine_data`. Now the source and if a curve is fetched or not is specified by the parameters `power_curve`, `power_coefficient_curve` and `nominal_power`. See :py:func:`~.wind_turbine.WindTurbine.fetch_turbine_data` for a description.
26-
* get_installed_power() methods in :class:`~windpowerlib.wind_farm.WindFarm` and :class:`~windpowerlib.wind_turbine_cluster.WindTurbineCluster` were removed. Installed power is instead now directly calculated inside the nominal_power getter.

* Power curves and nominal power of wind turbines are now saved in file in W instead of kW.
24+
* Power curves and nominal power of wind turbines are now saved in file in W instead of kW to be consistent with internal units.
3125
* Restructured csv reading for offline usage of windpowerlib. The nominal power of wind turbines is now saved to a separate file along with other turbine data from the oedb turbine library.
26+
* get_turbine_types() can now be used to get provided turbine types of oedb turbine library as well as provided turbine types of local files.

* Improved documentation of :class:`~windpowerlib.modelchain.ModelChain` and :class:`~windpowerlib.turbine_cluster_modelchain.TurbineClusterModelChain` parameters (`PR 64 <https://github.com/wind-python/windpowerlib/pull/64>`_).
31+
* Added info in README and getting started section on how to contribute to the oedb wind turbine library.
