Wind Validation
===============

Wind validation is a python package that makes it easy to validate
wind measurements for wind resource applications. The data structures
are time series, histograms and Weibull distributions and adopted from
and defined in [windkit](https://docs-wasp.ramtt.xyz/windkit/wind_climates.html).

The available validation options are shown in the figure above. There is an information reduction by going through the diagram from left to right. A time series is the most complete data structure to represent a wind climate and contains data series of wind speed and wind direction at one or many points. A histogram does not have a time dimension but instead represent the wind climate by describing frequency distributions for bins along the dimensions wind speed (`wsbin`) and wind direction (`sector`).

When measuring over a long period the frequency of occurrence usually follows a
[Weibull distribution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weibull_distribution),
particularly when looking at a single sector. It is therefore common
practice in the wind energy industry to use the Weibull *A* and *k* parameters to denote the wind resource at a certain location. For computational efficiency wind resource assessment often operate on histograms or Weibull distributions.
There is a filtering step, which is generally needed to make the two time series
similar in space and time. Some examples of spatially aligning data
are given in the [examples](https://docs-wasp.ramtt.xyz/wind_validation/examples.html)

## Installation
The package is installable by conda or pip. For more information, read the complete [installation instructions](https://docs-wasp.ramtt.xyz/wind_validation/installation.html)

Please note that we only support Python >= 3.8!
