class oemof.core.network.entities.components.sources.DispatchSource(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: oemof.core.network.entities.components.Source

Bases: oemof.core.network.entities.components.Transformer

A CombinedHeatPower Transformer with variable electrical efficiency Note: The model uses constraints which require binary variables, hence objects of this class will results in mixed-integer-linear-problems.

Parameters:

class oemof.core.network.entities.components.Sink(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: oemof.core.network.entities.Component

A Sink is special Component which only consumes some source commodity. Therefore its list of outputs has to be either None or empty (i.e. logically False).

class oemof.core.network.entities.components.Source(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: oemof.core.network.entities.Component

The opposite of a Sink, i.e. a Component which only produces and as a consequence has no input.

Parameters:
  • in_max (list) – maximum input of component (e.g. in MW)
  • out_max (list) – maximum output of component (e.g. in MW)
  • add_out_limit (float) – limit on additional output “capacity” (e.g. in MW)
  • capex (float) – capital expenditure (e.g. in Euro / MW )
  • lifetime (float) – lifetime of component (e.g. years)
  • wacc (float) – weigted average cost of capital (dimensionless)
  • crf (float) – capital recovery factor: (p*(1+p)^n)/(((1+p)^n)-1)
  • opex_fix (float) – fixed operational expenditure (e.g. expenses for staff)
  • opex_var (float) – variable operational expenditure (e.g. spare parts + fuelcosts)
  • co2_fix (float) – fixed co2 emissions (e.g. t / MW)
  • co2_var (float) – variable co2 emissions (e.g. t / MWh)
  • co2_cap (float) – co2 emissions due to installed power (e.g. t/ MW)

class oemof.core.network.entities.components.Transformer(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: oemof.core.network.entities.Component

A Transformer is a specific type of Component which transforms (possibly m) inputs into (possibly n) outputs. As such neither its list of inputs, nor its list of outputs are allowed to be empty.

Parameters:
  • out_min (list) – minimal output of transformer (e.g. min power output of powerplants)
  • in_min (list) – minimal input of transformer (e.g. min fuel consumption of powerplants)

  • grad_neg (float) – negative gradient (>=0, <=1, relative out_max)
  • t_min_off (float) – minimal off time in timesteps (e.g. 5 hours)
  • t_min_on (float) – minimal on time in timesteps (e.g 5 hours)
  • outages (float or array) – Outages of component. either: defined timesteps of timehorizon: e.g. [1,4,200] or: 0 <= scalar <= 1 as factor of the total timehorizon e.g. 0.05
  • input_costs (float) – costs for usage of input (if not included in opex_var)
  • start_costs (float) – cost per start up of transformer (only milp models)
  • stop_costs (float) – cost per stop up of transformer (only milp models)
  • ramp_costs (float) – costs for ramping

class oemof.core.network.entities.components.Transport(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: oemof.core.network.entities.Component

A Transport is a simple connection transporting a commodity from one Bus to a different one. It is different from a Transformer in that it may not change the type of commodity being transported. But since the transfer can still change things about the commodity other than the type (loss, gain, time delay, etc.) this class exists to encapsulate such changes.
