FLORIS [SWR-14-20]
*** PUBLIC ARCHIVE*** THIS IS A READ-ONLY VERSION OF THE DEPRECATED VERSION. FOR THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE FLORIS SOFTWARE, SEE WWW.GITHUB.COM/NREL/FLORIS FLORIS is an engineering model of wind turbine wake interactions which accounts for the effects of turbines on the flow through the creation of wakes an accounting for both velocity deficit and wake redirection through yaw

WISDEM® (Wind-Plant Integrated System Design and Engineering Model) [SWR-14-05]
The Wind-Plant Integrated System Design and Engineering Model (WISDEM®) is a set of models for assessing overall wind plant cost of energy (COE). The models use wind turbine and plant cost and energy production as well as financial models to estimate COE and other wind plant system attributes. WISDEM® is accessed through Python, is built using OpenMDAO, https://openmdao.org/, and uses several sub-models that are also implemented within OpenMDAO. These sub-models can be used independently but they are required to use the overall WISDEM® turbine design capability. Please install all of the pre-requisites prior to installing WISDEM® by following the directions below. For additional information about the NWTC effort in systems engineering that supports WISDEM® development, please visit the official NREL systems engineering for wind energy website. https://www.nlr.gov/wind/systems-engineering

CCBlade (WISDEM®) [SWR-13-19]
A blade element momentum method for analyzing wind turbine aerodynamic performance that is robust (guaranteed convergence), fast (superlinear convergence rate), and smooth (continuously differentiable). Analytic gradients are also (optionally) provided for the distributed loads, thrust, torque, and power with respect to design variables of interest.
