GridNodes

GridNodes are part of either the electricity or heat grid, depending on the value of p_energyCarrier. They form a hierarchical tree structure — the model does not support rings in the gridnode topology.

Parameters:

  • p_gridNodeID: A unique identifier (e.g. T0, T1, T2).
  • p_energyCarrier: The OL_EnergyCarriers type for this node (electricity or heat).
  • p_capacity_kW: The symmetrical capacity of this grid node.
  • p_realCapacityAvailable: Whether the capacity is known or estimated.
  • p_parentNodeID: The ID of the parent node in the tree.

Collections:

  • c_connectedGridNodes: Child GridNodes connected below this node.
  • c_connectedGridConnections: GridConnections connected to this node.
  • c_energyCoops: EnergyCoops at this node.
