🌬️ TOPFARM-UniFi

TOPFARM-UniFi is an extended version of the TopFarm, the plant-level optimization framework developed by DTU Wind Energy. This version introduces additional modules for offshore applications and advanced layout analysis.

🚀 Overview TOPFARM-UniFi adds several new capabilities to the original TopFarm framework, including:

🪝 Mooring footprint calculation for taut mooring systems 🌊 Bathymetry data integration for site-specific modeling ⚙️ Workflow customization for research and optimization tasks

These extensions are designed to support floating wind farm design and site layout optimization.
