IEpEnergyStorage

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.

Implemented by

Name Type Description
EpEnergyStorageBase simple module

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

IdealEpEnergyStorage simple module

This energy storage model stores an infinite amount of energy. It can provide energy for any number of consumers, and it can absorb energy from any number of generators. The ideal energy storage never gets completely charged or depleted. This module is primarily useful for testing energy consumer and energy generator models. See the base module for signals and statistics.

SimpleEpEnergyStorage simple module

This energy storage model maintains a residual energy capacity by integrating the difference between the total consumed power and the total generated power over time. It initiates node crash when the residual energy capacity reaches zero. This model doesn't have various properties such as self-discharge, memory effect, overcharging, temperature-dependence, etc. that real world batteries have. See the base module for signals and statistics.

Extends

Name Type Description
IEnergyStorage module interface

The energy storage models describe devices that absorb energy produced by generators, and provide energy for consumers. For example, an electrochemical battery in a mobile phone provides energy for its display, its CPU, and its wireless communication device. It can also absorb energy produced by a solar panel installed on its display, or by a portable charger plugged into a wall socket.

IEpEnergySource 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.

IEpEnergySink 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.
