A simple EV (ex. 52)

Overview

The relevant section of the top-level YAML looks like this:

components:
  # ... other stuff ...

  # NOTE: This could be a `Unit` instead, to allow more complex behaviours.
  # This assumes a rated power of "40 kW" and only allows charging while the EV is actually connected.
  charger:
    type: Connection
    node_from: grid
    node_to: ev
    loss: 0.05
    lb: 0
    ub: 40.0 * connected@data

  ev:
    type: Node
    carrier: electricity
    has_state: true
    state_lb: 0
    state_ub: 100

  ev_demand:
    type: Profile
    carrier: electricity
    node_from: ev
    value: demand@data

This models the EV as a storage that is sometimes connected to the grid - if it is, with a maximum power of 40 kW. The EV has a state of charge that can vary between 0 and 100 kWh. The demand of the EV is given by the ev_demand profile and taken out of the storage. Check the config file as well as the data file for more details.

Running the example

First, import iesopt.

import iesopt

Then, create a local copy of the IESopt example.

config = iesopt.make_example("52_simple_ev", "opt")

INFO:iesopt:Data folder for examples does not exist; creating it, and copying contents
INFO:iesopt:Creating example ('52_simple_ev') at: 'opt/52_simple_ev.iesopt.yaml'
INFO:iesopt:Set write permissions for example ('opt/52_simple_ev.iesopt.yaml'), and data folder ('opt/files')

Finally, run the model and observe some results.

model = iesopt.run(config, config={"general.verbosity.core": "error"})

model.results.to_pandas().query(
    "component == 'ev' and field == 'state' and mode == 'primal'"
)
