Pywake-start

It's just talking about how to install Pywake and check if it is successfully downloaded as a starter. And share my experience while doing my PyWake project.

Note: This is my experience as a novice installing Pywake and the problems I encountered. From the beginning when I didn't even understand the basic concepts of Python environment and such, to the final successful installation of Pywake, just as a souvenir and to help other beginners similar to me who started from scratch.

Note: It is 2023 Feb. 12, I just successfully download the Pywake and run some Examples, and in further steps like adjusting the parameters will be discussed in the future.

First

Basic

A Python environment needs to be downloaded. In my design, the Anacoda-Navigator is used.

1. Download Anaconda-Navigator (Python 3. x version, a 64-bit installer is recommended) on its official website: Anacoda-Navigator
2. Update the root Anaconda environment(Do it in terminal):

conda update --all

Here, if use Windows, should run Anaconda-Navigator to start it and use the terminal inside. 3. Activate the Anaconda root environment(also in terminal):

activate

Until now, the Python environment is installed.

To check if it is already installed successfully, run the code below:

python --version

If it is installed, you can see the terminal return the following words:

Python 3. x.x

Here is your Python edition.

Second

Install PyWake

You can think of PyWake as one of the Python library files. Once you have downloaded PyWake, you can run the contents of PyWake in code.

1. Download PyWake by one of the below:

• Install from PyPi.org (official releases):

pip install py_wake

• Install from GitLab (includes any recent updates):

pip install git+https://gitlab.windenergy.dtu.dk/TOPFARM/PyWake.git

• Another method

conda install pywake

Until now, PyWake is installed.

To check if it is already installed successfully, run the code below:

pywake --version

If it is installed, you can see the terminal return the following words:

PyWake 0.x.x

Here shows your PyWake edition.

Third

Now, try to run some examples. You can find it on PyWake Official Git

1. Copy a code from that link. 2. Open a text software whatever you like, and paste it into the Text Editor. Save as .py file. 3. Find the folder you put the file in. Run the code below in the terminal:

#### Then, you can get results.

Later, I found it useful to use the Jupyter Notebook.

Then things change to just copying the code from the website column by column and creating a xx.ipyk file paste the code into it.

Start coding

Once ready, you can coding now.

Start with

# Install PyWake if needed. Check if Pywake is successfully installed
try:
    import py_wake
except ModuleNotFoundError:
    !pip install git+https://gitlab.windenergy.dtu.dk/TOPFARM/PyWake.git

Then, put the basic elements of Python.

# 导入python基本元素
import os
import numpy as np #用于处理数组的库
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt #绘图

And put the functions you need into the next column.
