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.

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

Used in compound modules

Name	Type	Description
NodeBase	compound module	Contains the common lower layers (linklayer and networklayer) of Router, StandardHost, WirelessHost etc.

Known subclasses

Name	Type	Description
ICcEnergyGenerator	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.
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.
