Summary: Wind farm simulation tool for gradient-based optimization.
Authors: Jared J. Thomas, Andrew P.J. Stanley
- Compatible with ForwardDiff for gradiant-based optimization
- Swap out models without changing anything else in the simulation setup
- Smooth/continous model implementations
- Runs on a single core, across multiple cores (threaded), or on multiple machines (distributed).
- Designed so that new model implementations can be included by adding a single method
- Allows for Wake Expansion Continuation (WEC) as described here
julia
(v1.x) pkg> add FLOWFarm
- Begin with the quick start tutorial.
- An explanation of how to utilize sparsity can be found in wind farm struct.
- More advanced topics are covered in the how-to guide.
- Theory details, and links, can be found in the theory page.
- Doc strings can be found in the references page.
