plot_result: Plot the best results

In windfarmGA: Genetic Algorithm for Wind Farm Layout Optimization

Plot the best results

Description

Draw the best layout(s) on the site. Turbine labels are the total wake in percent. Default is the single best energy layout.

Usage

plot_result(
  result,
  area,
  best = 1,
  plot_en = 1,
  terrain = FALSE,
  plot_grid = TRUE,
  ccl_roughness = NULL,
  ccl = NULL,
  weibull_src = NULL
)

Arguments

result	The output of genetic_algorithm
area	Site polygon (sf, SpatialPolygons, or coordinate matrix). Must be projected in metres.
best	How many distinct best layouts to draw. Default is 1.
plot_en	A numeric value that indicates if the best energy or efficiency output should be plotted. 1 plots the best energy solutions and 2 plots the best efficiency solutions
terrain	Draw terrain rasters for the best layout. Reuses result$terrainModel when present; TRUE downloads only if nothing is stored. A DEM raster rebuilds the model.
plot_grid	If TRUE (default) the used grid is added. You can also pass another Simple Feature object
ccl_roughness	Path to the CLC legend CSV (Rauhigkeit_z column).
ccl	Path to a Corine Land Cover raster when terrain is on.
weibull_src	list(k, a) shape and scale rasters (e.g. Global Wind Atlas combined-Weibull-k / combined-Weibull-A).

Value

Returns a data.frame of the best (energy/efficiency) individual during all iterations
