I am trying to refer to the windpowerlib documentation (https://windpowerlib.readthedocs.io/en/stable/getting_started.html#examplereference-label) and using the sample Python Script and Example Weather Data File. I have created a new virtual environment within Anaconda 3 called windproject1, and installed the windpowerlib in that directory via pip.

I execute the example code in PyCharm Community Edition 2018.1 available on the aforesaid link which isn't compiling successfully. I am mentioning the 2 methods which are likely causing the error as per the Stacktrace below:-

def initialise_wind_turbines():

    r"""

    Initialises two :class:`~.wind_turbine.WindTurbine` objects.



    Function shows two ways to initialise a WindTurbine object. You can either

    specify your own turbine, as done below for 'myTurbine', or fetch power

    and/or power coefficient curve data from data files provided by the

    windpowerlib, as done for the 'enerconE126'.

    Execute ``windpowerlib.wind_turbine.get_turbine_types()`` or

    ``windpowerlib.wind_turbine.get_turbine_types(

    filename='power_coefficient_curves.csv')`` to get a list of all wind

    turbines for which power and power coefficient curves respectively are

    provided.



    Returns

    -------

    Tuple (WindTurbine, WindTurbine)



    """



    # specification of own wind turbine (Note: power coefficient values and

    # nominal power have to be in Watt)

    myTurbine = {

        'turbine_name': 'myTurbine',

        'nominal_power': 3e6,  # in W

        'hub_height': 105,  # in m

    }

    # initialise WindTurbine object

    my_turbine = WindTurbine(**myTurbine)



    # specification of wind turbine where power curve is provided

    # if you want to use the power coefficient curve add

        'rotor_diameter': 127  # in m

    }

    e126 = WindTurbine(**enerconE126)



    return my_turbine, e126







def run_basic_example():

    weather = get_weather_data('weather.csv')

    my_turbine, e126 = initialise_wind_turbines()

    calculate_power_output(weather, my_turbine, e126)

    plot_or_print(my_turbine, e126)





if __name__ == "__main__":

    run_basic_example()

But am unable to compile it successfully. I get the errors as evident from the stack trace below:-

/Users/joyjitchatterjee/anaconda3/envs/windproject1/bin/python /Users/joyjitchatterjee/Desktop/windAnalysis/test.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/Users/joyjitchatterjee/Desktop/windAnalysis/test.py", line 243, in <module>

    my_turbine, e126 = initialise_wind_turbines()

  File "/Users/joyjitchatterjee/Desktop/windAnalysis/test.py", line 111, in initialise_wind_turbines

    my_turbine = WindTurbine(**myTurbine)

TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'name'



Process finished with exit code 1

The key thing to mention here is that I have a folder on my desktop (/Users/joyjitchatterjee/Desktop/example) with the weather.csv file. Also, the code I am compiling is stored in the folder (/Users/joyjitchatterjee/Desktop/windAnalysis) with the name test.py. I am not sure why the __init__() dunder method is giving this weird error, and if I need to specify any explicit argument instead of name to run the example code. I am new to using both windpowerlib and Python with packages like these, and any help in this regard would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
