IEpEnergyGenerator

Package: inet.power.contract

module interface IEpEnergyGenerator

This interface extends the corresponding energy model interface. It requires implementations to describe energy consumption and energy generation with power [W] and storage capacity with energy [J]. The Ep is an abbreviation that is used for energy and power-based interfaces.

Description

EpEnergyGeneratorBase

simple module

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

AlternatingEpEnergyGenerator

simple module

This energy generator model alternates between two modes called generation and sleep mode. In generation mode, it generates a randomly selected constant power for a random time interval. In sleep mode, it doesn’t generate energy for another random time interval.

Description

IEnergyGenerator

module interface

The energy generator models describe the energy generation process of devices over time. A solar panel, for example, produces energy based on time, the panel’s position on the globe, its orientation towards the sun, and the actual weather conditions.
