OpenTerrace: A fast, flexible and extendable Python framework for thermal energy storage packed bed simulations

OpenTerrace is a pure Python framework for thermal energy storage packed bed simulations. It is built from the ground up to be flexible and extendable on modern Python 3.x with speed in mind.

OpenTerrace uses awesome open-source software such as Numba, NumPy and SciPy:grey_exclamation:

Why OpenTerrace?

• FAST
  By making use of modern compilers and optimised tri-diagonal matrix solvers, OpenTerrace is built to be fast.

• FLEXIBLE
  OpenTerrace is built from the ground up to be flexible for easy integration in system models or optimisation loops.

• EXTENDABLE
  Modules for new materials such as non-spherical rocks or exotic Phase Change Materials (PCM) can easily be plugged into the OpenTerrace framework.
