GenOpt® is a generic i i i optimization program
developed by the Simulation Research Group at LBNL. p
It is designed for minimization of a so-called objective g jfunction, such as annual energy use, that is calculated by an external simulation program program.
GenOpt determines the values of the system parameters that lead to optimal operation. p pIt can also identify unknown parameters in a data-fitting process. Additionally GenOpt can be used to do parametric runs using Additionally, GenOpt can be used to do parametric runs using your simulation program.
