How to Calibrate the Resource Map

The resource map can be calibrated either using satellite data that has been scaled with a certified measurement campaign from a nearby site, or directly using measurements from on-site meteorological masts combined with long-term reference data. In the latter case, the calibration is performed using the MCP time series rather than the raw measured data. In other words, the MCP file is used to calibrate the WRG, not the direct measurements.

In both cases, it is necessary to create a Meteo Object in WindPRO and export its data before performing the calibration.

1. Navigate to Python\\Python code\\Final\\Vortex map calibration\\Codes
2. Copy the file code plus vertical extrapolation.py
3. Create a new folder named WRG in the project working directory: Internal Studies\\EYA\\Analyses\\WRG, and paste the python file into this folder.
4. From WindPRO (or another source), copy the resource map (.wrg) at the desired hub height into the WRG folder.
5. In WindPRO, export the Meteo Object (either the adjusted ERA5 series or the MCP series) and save the exported file in the same WRG folder.
6. Open the Python script in Spyder.
7. Check the following variables: hub\_height directory file\_name MM1
8. Enter the Easting and Northing coordinates of the Meteo Object.
9. Run the script.
10. Add the calibrated resource map (generated in the WRG folder) back into WindPRO.
