OpenTerrace is a pure Python framework for packed bed thermal energy storage simulations. It is built from the ground up to be flexible and extendable on modern Python 3.x with speed in mind.

OpenTerrace uses awesome open-source software such as Numba, NumPy and SciPy.

Why OpenTerrace?

  • FAST
    By making use of modern compilers and optimised tri-diagonal matrix solvers, OpenTerrace is built to be fast.

  • FLEXIBLE
    OpenTerrace is built from the ground up to be flexible for easy integration in system models or optimisation loops.

  • EXTENDABLE
    Modules for new materials such as non-spherical rocks or exotic Phase Change Materials (PCM) can easily be plugged into the OpenTerrace framework.
