IEpEnergyGenerator

module interface

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.

Inheritance diagram

The following diagram shows inheritance relationships for this type. Unresolved types are missing from the diagram.

Implemented by

Name	Type	Description
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.
EpEnergyGeneratorBase	simple module	This is an abstract base module for power based energy generator models. It defines shared signals and statistics.

Extends

Name	Type	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.
