1. Learn how to use COERbuoy
1.1 Basic usage
For a quick guide into using COERbuoy, please see section 3: Run COERbuoy. If you use jupyther, there is a notebook available with a few examples. The most comprehensive overview over COERbuoy is given in the manual.
1.2 Writing a controller
Please see the examples using python or MATLAB in the example section.
1.3 Writing a WEC
The inclusion of custom WECs is possible, but not offically suported. However, an example is available.
2. Installation
Download python3.
Install COERbuoy using pip:
Variant 1 |
---|
py -m pip install COERbuoy |
Variant 1 |
---|
python3 -m pip install COERbuoy |
3. Run COERbuoy
NOTE: The commands how to run python might differ between systems, and the ones presented here might not work on every machine. Please refer to https://www.python.org/ to find the correct commands for your system.
Run graphical user interface:
Variant 1 | Variant 1 | |
---|---|---|
py -m COERbuoy.GUI |
python3 -m COERbuoy.GUI |
3.1. Command line:
Brettschneider wave with significant wave height 1.5 m and wave energy period of 6 s and a linear generator damping:
