.. _What:

What?
------------------------------------------
The FarmConners Market Showcases are basically:

* Datasets of electricity prices and inflow (wind speed and direction)
* To be used as input to wind farm control (WFC)
* When simulating a reference wind farm


.. _Why:

Why?
------------------------------------------
Some (of all the good) reasons why you should participate are:

* Relative evaluation of your tool/approach together with others
* Revenue estimation for your tool/approach which could be handy when applying for future projects
* Co-authorship of the resulting FarmConners paper
* Your own publication about details of implementation and results
* Collaboration with researchers at leading European institutions in the field of wind farm control
* Supporting the advancement of wind farm control
* It is fun



.. _How:

How?
------------------------------------------

1. Register :ref:`here <how_to_participate>`
2. Set up the :ref:`reference wind farm <reference_wind_farm>` (or the simplified version) in your simulation tool
3. Run a simulation without WFC using the showcases data as input (nominal case)
4. Run a simulation with WFC using the showcases data as input
5. Submit your results

At any time, :ref:`contact us <contact_us>` if you have questions.
