FLORIS-Based Analysis for SCADA Data (FLASC)

Note: Further documentation is available at https://nrel.github.io/flasc/

Description

FLASC provides a rich suite of analysis tools for SCADA data filtering, analysis, wind farm model validation, field experiment design, and field experiment monitoring.

The repository is centrally built around NRELs in-house FLORIS wind farm model, available at https://github.com/nrel/floris. FLASC also largely relies on the energy ratio, among others, to quantify wake losses in synthetic and historical data, to perform turbine northing calibrations, and model parameter estimation.
