HOPP Simulation Interface

This class is the main interaction point for HOPP simulations. See Examples for in-depth notebooks and configuration files.

class hopp.simulation.hopp_interface.HoppInterface(configuration)

Bases: object

Main interface for HOPP simulations.

Parameters:

configuration (Union[dict, str, Path]) –

Top level configuration for a HOPP simulation. Can be either a string/Path to a YAML configuration file, or a dict with the same structure. The structure is:

• name: Optional name for the simulation

• site: Site information. See hopp.simulation.technologies.sites.SiteInfo

• technologies: Technology information. See hopp.simulation.hybrid_simulation.TechnologiesConfig

• config: Additional config options

  • dispatch_options: Dispatch optimization options. See hopp.simulation.technologies.dispatch.hybrid_dispatch_options.HybridDispatchOptions

  • cost_info: Cost info. See hopp.tools.analysis.bos.cost_calculator.CostCalculator

  • simulation_options: Nested dict, i.e., {'pv': {'skip_financial': bool}} (optional) nested dictionary of simulation options. First level key is technology consistent with technologies

__init__(configuration)

Parameters:

configuration (dict | str | Path)

reinitialize(configuration)

Parameters:

configuration (dict | str | Path)

simulate(project_life=25, lifetime_sim=False)

Parameters:

• project_life (int)

• lifetime_sim (bool)

simulate_power(project_life=25, lifetime_sim=False)

Parameters:

• project_life (int)

• lifetime_sim (bool)

property system: HybridSimulation

Returns the configured simulation instance.
