+Requires a `df_opt` object produced by a FLORIS yaw optimization routine. See example 
 lookup-based_wake_steering_florisstandin for example usage.
 
 Currently, yaw angles are set based purely on the (local turbine) wind direction. The lookup table
 is sampled at a hardcoded wind speed of 8 m/s. This will be updated in future when an interface is
 developed for a simulator that provides wind turbine wind speeds also.

+
+Wind farm-level power controller that simply distributes a farm-level power 
+reference between wind turbines evenly, without checking whether turbines are 
+able to produce power at the requested level. Not expected to perform well when
+wind turbines are waked or cannot produce the desired power for other reasons.

+Closed-loop wind farm-level power controller that distributes a farm-level 
+power reference among the wind turbines in a farm and adjusts the requests made
+from each turbine depending on whether the power reference has been met.

+further details provided in 
+[Sinner et al.](https://pubs.aip.org/aip/jrse/article/15/5/053304/2913100).

+Integral action, as well as gain scheduling based on turbine saturation, has been disabled as 
+simple proportional control appears sufficient currently. However, these may be enabled at a 
+later date if needed. The `proportional_gain` for the controller may be provided on instantiation,
+and defaults to `proportional_gain = 1`.
