Module Interface IEpEnergyConsumer

Package: inet.power.contract
File: src/inet/power/contract/IEpEnergyConsumer.ned

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.

Name	Type	Description
IEnergyConsumer	module interface	The energy consumer models describe the energy consumption process of devices over time. For example, a radio consumes energy when it transmits or receives signals, or a CPU consumes energy when the network layer processes packets, or a display consumes energy when it's turned on, etc.
