FLORIDyn

Introduction

A dynamic wind farm simulation software, translated from https://github.com/TUDelft-DataDrivenControl/FLORIDyn_Matlab, which was written by Marcus Becker.

His code uses one engineering model from the quasi static wind farm simulation software FLORIS, developed by NREL.

Status: WORK-IN-PROGRESS

You cannot use this package yet, if you need a version of FLORIDyn that works now, use the Matlab or Python version instead. The Python version is available at https://github.com/TUDelft-DataDrivenControl/OFF .

Installation

Install Julia 1.10 or later, if you haven't already.

Before installing this software it is suggested to create a new project, for example like this:

mkdir test
cd test
julia --project="."

Then add FLORIDyn from Julia's package manager, by typing:

using Pkg
pkg"add https://github.com/ufechner7/FLORIDyn.jl"

at the Julia prompt. You can run the unit tests with the command:

pkg"test FLORIDyn"
