Simple wind turbine model

## Information

Model of a wind turbine whose power is computed as a function of wind-speed as defined in a table.

Input to the model is the local wind speed. The model requires the specification of a table that maps wind speed in meters per second to generated power Pt in Watts. The model has a parameter called `scale` with a default value of one that can be used to scale the power generated by the wind turbine. The generated active electrical power is

P = Pt scale ηDCAC

where ηDCAC is the efficiency of the conversion of the DC electrical power to AC. For example, the following specification (with default `scale=1`) of a wind turbine

      WindTurbine_Table tur(
        table=[3.5, 0;
               5.5,   100;
               12, 900;
               14, 1000;
               25, 1000]) "Wind turbine";

yields the performance shown below. In this example, the cut-in wind speed is 3.5 meters per second, and the cut-out wind speed is 25 meters per second, as entered by the first and last entry of the wind speed column. Below and above these wind speeds, the generated power is zero.

## Revisions

- January 29, 2019, by Michael Wetter:
  Added `replaceable` for terminal.
- February 26, 2016, by Michael Wetter:
  In load, set `P_nominal = 0` as it is not used. This is for issue 426.
- August 5, 2014, by Marco Bonvini:
  Revised documentation.
