Bases: mosaik_api_v3.Simulator

Simulator class for eELib pv_lib model.

Parameters:

mosaik_api_v3 (module) – defines communication between mosaik and simulator

init(sid, scenario_config, time_resolution=1.0)

Initializes parameters for an object of the PVLib:Sim class.

Parameters:

  • sid (str) – Id of the created instance of the pv_lib simulator (e.g. PVLibSim-0)

  • scenario_config (dict) – scenario configuration data, like resolution or step size.

  • time_resolution (float) – Time resolution of current mosaik scenario.

Returns:

meta description of the simulator

Return type:

meta

create(num, model_type, init_vals)

Creates instances of the eELib pv_lib model.

Parameters:

  • num (int) – Number of pv_lib models to be created

  • model_type (str) – Description of the created pv_lib instance

  • init_vals (list) – List (length=num) with initial values for each pv_lib model

Returns:

return created entities

Return type:

dict

get_entity_by_id(entity_id: str)

Searches for a requested entity id and gives back the entity model.

Parameters:

entity_id (str) – id of the entity to be searched for

Returns:

entity model if found, None otherwise

Return type:

object

step(time, inputs, max_advance)

Performs simulation step calling the eELib pv_lib model. Core function of mosaik.

Parameters:

  • time (int) – current simulation time (given by mosaik)

  • inputs (dict, optional) – allocation of return values to specific models

  • max_advance (int, optional) – simulation time until the simulator can safely advance it’s internal time without causing any causality errors.

Raises:

  • ValueError – Error if more than one set value is tried to be given to entity

  • TypeError – if value_dict containing set values has an unknown format

Returns:

next time step (when orchestrator calls again)

Return type:

int

get_data(outputs)

Gets the data for the next concatenated model. Core function of mosaik.

Parameters:

outputs (dict) – Dictionary with data outputs from each pv_lib model

Raises:

ValueError – Error if attribute not in model metadata

Returns:

Dictionary with simulation outputs

Return type:

dict
