Resource Calculation Service
The service CalcResourceService gives you access to generate resource maps in windPRO
The service itself if relatively simple with the CalcResourceService.GetResourceCalc and CalcResourceService.SetResourceCalc for getting and setting calculations.
Generating a resource map from scratch involves the main part of the flow modelling in windPRO. The steps that are needed are the following:
Add or download terrain and roughness data
Make a statgen object for statistical wind resource calculations
Do a Statgen calculation to get the wind statistics
Add a statgen object for resource map calculation and link the wind statistics
Make a WTG area to decide the limits of your calculation
Make a resource calculation linking the statgen for resource object and the WTG area object
Properties of the calculation object can be found here TApiCalcResource. It is more informative to understand this form an example. The code below illustrates how to make a resource map from scratch. it is the same code use to illustrate Statgen Calculation Service.
