Note that with v0.2, you have the possibility to transparently use wind turbines from: https://openenergy-platform.org/dataedit/view/supply/wind_turbine_library

Although the largest one is Vestas V164 with 9.5MW, which you can use as atlite.wind(turbine="oedb:V164/9500")

Ah good! I should make an issue to add the new 15 MW turbine is this the right place?

@Ludee?
Can we get rid of our own database and just use this one?

The data curation for is currently managed here: OpenEnergyPlatform/data-preprocessing#28
There you find instructions and templates for the OEP upload.

Merging would make sense, if you have time for this comparison.

The local atlite database works without an internet connection and gives the user more control + the ability to store and retrieve configurations independent of atlite or OEP, so I would vote for keeping it.

But instead of adding new turbines to our database, I think it is better to push new configs to OEP.

If you click the 'download' button (or use the API), the wind turbine library database can be used offline as well ;)
Is the atlite database availlable somewhere?

Sure, but the atlite database is distributed with the package, so this works 'out-of-the-box' as it - in my opinion - should be for basic examples / applications. =)

Yes, the turbines are stored here https://github.com/PyPSA/atlite/tree/master/atlite/resources/windturbine

Can be accessed now e.g. via:

from atlite.resource import get_oedb_windturbineconfig
get_oedb_windturbineconfig("oedb:IEA-15-240-RWT")
