The hydrodynamic data package can be downloaded from SETIS.
Once downloaded execute the file to install. Remember to uninstall any old versions first using the uninstaller in the DTOcean Hydrodynamics start menu program folder.
Using a windows command prompt enter the following commands:
conda create -n dtocean python pip pytest ipython-notebook
then
activate dtocean
or
C:\Anaconda\Scripts\activate.bat dtocean
conda config --add channels https://conda.anaconda.org/topper
conda install configobj cma descartes h5py libpython=1.0 matplotlib numpy=1.10.1 pandas pyopengl pyqt=4.11.4 pyyaml scikit-learn scipy shapely-win-py27
The package "polite" can be downloaded from SETIS.
cd path\to\polite
winmake.bat install
cd path\to\dtocean-hydrodynamics
winmake.bat bootstrap
cd ..\examples
python Ex_tidal.py
The main aim of this tool is to take the hydrodynamic scenarios forward to the succeeding WPs through resource assessment and definition of the array layouts and the parameters in play for the array optimization. It focuses on the hydrodynamic interaction between the individual devices in the array, how this affects the resource, power performance, cost uncertainties and environmental impact.
