Example: Compare yaw optimizers#
"""Example: Compare yaw optimizers
This example compares the SciPy-based yaw optimizer with the Serial-Refine optimizer
and geometric optimizer.
First, we initialize Floris, and then generate a 3 turbine wind farm.
Next, we create two yaw optimization objects, `yaw_opt_sr` and `yaw_opt_scipy` for the
Serial-Refine and SciPy methods, respectively.
We then perform the optimization using both methods.
Finally, we compare the time it took to find the optimal angles and plot the optimal yaw angles
and resulting wind farm powers.
The example now also compares the Geometric Yaw optimizer, which is fast
a method to find approximately optimal yaw angles based on the wind farm geometry. Its
main use case is for coupled layout and yaw optimization.
see floris.optimization.yaw_optimization.yaw_optimizer_geometric.py and the paper online
at https://wes.copernicus.org/preprints/wes-2023-1/. See also example 16c.
