PyThermoNomics

Welcome to the PyThermoNomics documentation!

This project provides tools for geothermal economics calculations, including Net Present Value (NPV) and Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) computations, well simulation, and more.

Modules

• geothermal_economics: Main API for economics calculations.
• config: Configuration models and utilities.
• energy_model: Energy calculation models.
• data: Simulation readers and well results.
• npv_model: NPV and cost models.
