Returns a circular profile of angles to the horizon for a location at a given latitude, longitude point. The angles are calculated based on the surrounding terrain elevation from a 90m horizontal-resolution digital elevation model. The angle returned is relative to due north, with negative angles eastwards and positive values westward . Varies from -180 to 180. A value of -90 means east, 0 means north, and 90 means west.

Partially update a premium wind power site. Only fields included in the body are updated. All body fields: resource_id (required), name, latitude, longitude, capacity, rotor_diameter (20-200), rated_power (0.1-15000), hub_height (10-200), number_of_turbines (1-500), cut_in_wind_speed (0-10), cut_out_wind_speed (15-35), rated_wind_speed (8-20).

Patch Resource

Merge new availability and/or curtailment schedule intervals into the existing stored schedule for a premium resource. Overlapping intervals are replaced (existing intervals are split as needed). The request is all-or-nothing: a validation error in any entry rejects the entire request.
