foxes.opt¶

Wind farm optimization within foxes is run via the foxes.opt sub-package. This internally makes use of the external iwopy package, whose documentation can be found here.

Package	Description
foxes.opt.core	Abstract base classes and core functionality.
foxes.opt.problems	Wind farm optimization problems.
foxes.opt.objectives	Objectives for wind farm optimization problems.
foxes.opt.constraints	Constraints for wind farm optimization problems.
