Scenarios
Structures for working with clearly defined scenarios.
Scenario
num_steps
property
Return the number of discrete time steps in this simulated scenario.
__init__(*, load, baseload_sources, flexible_sources, intermittent_sources, storage_units, cross_border=None, grid_losses=0.0)
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
load
|
Sequence[Power]
|
Time series of net load for each time step in MW. |
required |
baseload_sources
|
list[NonDispatchableSource]
|
List of baseload power sources, e.g. nuclear power plants. |
required |
flexible_sources
|
list[DispatchableSource]
|
List of dispatchable (flexible) power sources or peaking power plants, e.g. biomass or natural gas-fuelled power plants. Merit order (order of dispatch) is given by the position of the source in the sequence. |
required |
intermittent_sources
|
list[tuple[NonDispatchableSource, Sequence[float]]]
|
List of intermittent (inflexible) power sources, e.g. wind or solar photovoltaic power plants. The second entry in the tuple is a time series of capacity factor for the source in each time step. |
required |
storage_units
|
list[EnergyStorage]
|
List of electricity storage units. |
required |
cross_border
|
Optional[CrossBorderTerminal]
|
A single cross-border export/import facility. |
None
|
grid_losses
|
float
|
Losses in the grid (transmission and distribution) as a portion of net load. A number in the interval [0, 1). |
0.0
|
run()
Run the scenario and return time series of statistics on each object in the grid.
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
ScenarioRun
|
Object containing time series of electricity source utilisation, storage utilisation, export/import statistics, etc. |
ScenarioRun
__init__(power_sources, storage_units, cross_border=None)
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
power_sources
|
Sequence[PowerSource]
|
Sequence of electricity sources in the grid. |
required |
storage_units
|
Sequence[EnergyStorage]
|
Sequence of electricity storage units/aggregates in the grid. |
required |
cross_border
|
Optional[CrossBorderTerminal]
|
Optional facility for cross-border export/import of electric power. |
None
|
sweep()
Collect statistics from all registered objects.
