Wind Turbine

Wind turbine — NREL 5 MW reference turbine, collective-pitch power regulation.

Action space Box((2,)), all actions in [-1, 1]
Observation space Box((5,))
Tracked variable(s) electrical power (MW)
Episode length 400 steps (100 s at 0.25 s per step)

Action space

Actions are normalised to [-1, 1] and mapped onto the plant's real actuator range inside the environment.

# meaning min max
0 pitch_raw -1 1
1 torque_raw -1 1

Observation space

5 values. Indices (3,) carry the tracked variable(s) that the reward scores.

Rewards

Power tracking minus a pitch-activity penalty (a fatigue proxy).

Every environment in this suite scores on one contract: the reward is (tracking terms, multiplied) x (1 - weighted costs), bounded in [0, 1], and reaches 1 only while the target is held exactly. See Reward shaping.

Starting state

reset samples the initial condition and the target; state has 9 fields.

Episode end

Termination. See check_is_terminal.

Truncation. After 400 steps.

Baselines

A tuned PID ships with this environment.
