SOWFA + Super Controller is a modification of NREL's SOWFA, a tool that allows for a user to apply multiturbine or centralized wind plant control algorithms within the high-fidelity SOWFA simulation environment. The tool is currently a branch of the main SOWFA program, but will one day will be merged into a single version. This manual introduces the tool and provides examples such that a user can implement their own super controller and set up and run simulations. SOWFA + Super Controller, and this manual, are in alpha mode.
