Task: Distributed Wind Examples

[elenya-grant]

Add distributed wind examples

Requires the following features/bug-fixes:

• add option to specify different locations and/or resource years for wind and solar resource
• simplify defining site boundaries in SiteInfo.py (PR Feature add: alternative to define site boundaries #426)
• add ability to adjust wind air density based on site elevation (PR Feature add: option to adjust air density for site elevation #427)
• [/] add simple-grid turbine layout option (PR Intermediate: update to wind layout and floris functions (1/2) #429)
• [/] integrate turbine layout with floris.py (PR Feature add: integrated wind layout methods when using Floris (2/2) #431)
• [/] add auto-generation of wind farm layout for floris.py (PR Feature add: integrated wind layout methods when using Floris (2/2) #431)
• integrate turbine-models library (requires previous items)
• make examples highlighting these developments
• expand tests for floris usage (partially included in PR Intermediate: update to wind layout and floris functions (1/2) #429)
• (optional) update floris.py for simulating multiple turbine types

Proposed solution

all of these capabilities exist in https://github.com/elenya-grant/HOPP/tree/v3/turb_tools

Alternatives considered

Additional context

Need to have merged in by end of Feb 2025 to show example at a conference.
