Inconsistent turbine data

Open TUM-Doepfert opened this issue 7 months ago • 0 comments

I have been working with your package to create wind power time series and overall it works really well. So thank you for your efforts! However, when I was trying to create time series for a location for all turbines from your turbine_data.csv file, I ran into some inconsistencies in the file. Specifically, the column hub_height is problematic as it uses German formatting using semicolons for height separation and commas for decimals (unlike other columns). Furthermore, sometimes it uses a backslash for item separation (e.g., turbine type: GE100/2500), making it very cumbersome to read all the data from the file. Sometimes, there is also a semicolumn, although no additional height is added (e.g., turbine type: AW100/3000) and sometimes it contains a string (e.g., "side spec" for GE150/6000)

It would be great, if the file could be cleaned so that the entries are consistent and can be worked with more easily.
