Example

An example file is provided with exampleCPGSystemStudy.py. This example implements a CPG system and solves for a number of reservoir depths and permeabilities. It contains a large number of scenarios and therefore runs for a long time. Hence, it should only be used as an example to derive other studies from.

Install

genGEO uses conda for easy package management and comes with an yml file to create an environment with all required packages.

For conda users please run the following for installation:

• conda env create -f genGEO.yml

and for updates:

• conda env update -f genGEO.yml

For non conda users, please install the following packages:

• python=3.7
• pandas
• scipy
• coolprop
• xlrd

Testing

To test if genGEO works fine on your system, please run the tests with the following command:

cd <path_to_genGEO> ; ./runTests.sh

For the full test which also tests the optimization mode please run:

cd <path_to_genGEO> ; ./runTests.sh full
