ICcEnergyStorage

Package: inet.power.contract

module interface ICcEnergyStorage

This interface extends the corresponding energy model interface. It requires implementations to describe energy consumption and energy generation with current [A], and storage capacity with charge [C] and output voltage [V]. The Cc is an abbreviation that is used for charge and current based interfaces.

Description

CcEnergyStorageBase

simple module

This is an abstract base module for current-based energy storage models. It defines shared signals and statistics.

CcBatteryPack

simple module

Models a battery pack consisting of multiple identical cells arranged in series or parallel. Calculates the overall capacity, voltage, and internal resistance based on the cell properties and their arrangement. In a serial arrangement, voltages and internal resistances add up. In a parallel arrangement, capacities add up and internal resistance decreases.

SimpleCcBattery

simple module

This battery model maintains a residual charge capacity by integrating the difference between the total consumed current and the total generated current over time. This model uses a charge-independent ideal voltage source and a charge-independent internal resistance. It initiates node crash when the residual charge capacity reaches zero. See the base module for signals and statistics.

ICcEnergySource

module interface

This interface extends the corresponding energy model interface. It requires implementations to describe energy consumption and energy generation with current [A], and storage capacity with charge [C] and output voltage [V]. The Cc is an abbreviation that is used for charge and current-based interfaces.

ICcEnergySink

module interface

This interface extends the corresponding energy model interface. It requires implementations to describe energy consumption and energy generation with current [A], and storage capacity with charge [C] and output voltage [V]. The Cc is an abbreviation that is used for charge and current-based interfaces.

IEnergyStorage

module interface

The energy storage models describe devices that absorb energy produced by generators, and provide energy for consumers. For example, an electrochemical battery in a mobile phone provides energy for its display, its CPU, and its wireless communication device. It can also absorb energy produced by a solar panel installed on its display, or by a portable charger plugged into a wall socket.
