Windaco (Wind Data Converter) is a data converter build on top of the Lidaco library (Wind Lidar Data Converter) https://github.com/e-WindLidar/Lidaco .
Download the repository, and try running the ALEX17 example samples/ALEX17_csv_timeseries/run.ipynb Install any missing dependencies.
Widaco is currently designed to process CSV timeseries data compatible with pandas.read_csv()
The converter is usually called with a path to a config file in .yaml
format. As an option, it is also possible to provide parts or the full config object as an argument. This is especially usefull when dealing with files containing many variables (so we can generate the variables setup automatically), or when we want to pass a function to be applied to a specific variable.
Widaco uses a variables dictionary to support different naming convention, provide a comfortable mechanism for defining quality variables metadata, and to support standardisation. Widaco expects every output variable to be defined first in a .json
file https://github.com/pgancarski/Lidaco/tree/master/lidaco/variables
The outputs are structured as a 3D arrays of timeseries, "position", and variables. Position can stand for anything that is defined by its position and type, usally it stands for a wind turbine or a specific altitude of a met mast.
