Power Generation Analysis

Input

At this point you should have already setup the input files and style files as detailed in Prepare Tutorial Files.

To run this demonstration, use the Load GUI Inputs button located at the bottom left of the SEAT GUI, navigate to DEMO/pacwave/all_modules.ini, and click OK to load the inputs. If you need detailed instructions on how to load inputs, please refer to the Save & Load Configuration section in the SEAT QGIS Plugin documention.

Note

Your paths will differ than the ones shown in the example below. If you get an error double check the paths making sure the files exist at the specified location.
