foxes-opt
The package foxes-opt provides optimization functionality for the Farm Optimization and eXtended yield Evaluation Software foxes and is based on the optimization interface iwopy.
All three open-source Python packages foxes, foxes-opt and iwopy are provided and maintained by Fraunhofer IWES.
The calculation is fully vectorized and its fast performance is owed to dask. Also the parallelization on local or remote clusters is enabled via dask. The wind farm
optimization capabilities invoke the iwopy package which
as well supports vectorization.
foxes is build upon many years of experience with wake model code development at IWES, starting with the C++ based in-house code flapFOAM (2011-2019) and the Python based direct predecessor flappy (2019-2022).
