Installation instructions

The dependencies are managed with Poetry, and some are marked as optional. To install all dependencies type

poetry install --all-extras

It is also possible to install only some optional dependencies, with

poetry install --extras "<option_1> <option_2>"

For example

poetry install --extras "pywake spyder"

The optional dependencies are listed in the following table

Name	Description
pywake	Add PyWake
floris	Add Floris
spyder	Enable the use of Spyder with this virtual environment
test	Enable testing
code_style	Enable code style checking
docs	Enable building the documentation
profiler	Enable time and memory profiler

This package relies on surrogates-interface to evaluate the loads. It is the responsibility of the user to select which surrogate model library to install. At the time of writing, the options are:

• surrogates-interface[tf] ➡️ TensorFlow
• surrogates-interface[torch] ➡️ PyTorch
• surrogates-interface[smt] ➡️ SMT

Poetry will write the location of the virtual environment. This is useful to delete it when it's not needed anymore, and also to select the python executable from Spyder.

To use Spyder go to Tools / Preferences / Python interpreter. Select "Use the following Python interpreter" and enter the path to python.exe in the virtual environment. It should look like %userprofile%\AppData\Local\pypoetry\Cache\virtualenvs\wind-farm-loads-yjbA2zDm-py3.11.11\Scripts\python.exe.

To run any command there are two options:

• Activate the virtual environment. That is, open a new command prompt, and then enter %userprofile%\AppData\Local\pypoetry\Cache\virtualenvs\wind-farm-loads-yjbA2zDm-py3.12\Scripts\activate.bat.
• Always write poetry run before anything. For example poetry run python my_script.py.
