YawOptimizationScipy(fmodel[, ...])

YawOptimizationScipy is a subclass of floris.optimization.general_library.YawOptimization that is used to optimize the yaw angles of all turbines in a Floris Farm for a single set of inflow conditions using the SciPy optimize package.

YawOptimizationScipy is a subclass of floris.optimization.general_library.YawOptimization that is used to optimize the yaw angles of all turbines in a Floris Farm for a single set of inflow conditions using the SciPy optimize package.

optimize()[source]#

Find optimum setting of turbine yaw angles for a single turbine cluster that maximizes the weighted wind farm power production given fixed atmospheric conditions (wind speed, direction, etc.) using the scipy.optimize.minimize function.

Returns:

opt_yaw_angles (np.array): Optimal yaw angles in degrees. This array is equal in length to the number of turbines in the farm.
