TimeSeries

class geojson_modelica_translator.model_connectors.load_connectors.time_series.TimeSeries(system_parameters, geojson_load)

Bases: LoadBase

__init__(system_parameters, geojson_load)

Base class for load connectors.

Parameters:

• system_parameters – SystemParameter object, the entire system parameter file which will be used to generate this load.

• geojson_load – dict, the GeoJSON portion of the load to be added (a single feature).

Methods

__init__(system_parameters, geojson_load)	Base class for load connectors.
add_building(urbanopt_building[, mapper])	Add building to the load to be translated.
copy_required_mo_files(dest_folder[, within])	Copy any required_mo_files to the destination and update the within clause if defined.
ft2_to_m2(area_in_ft2)	Converts square feet to square meters
get_modelica_type(scaffold)
post_process(scaffold)	Cleanup the export of time series files into a format suitable for the district-based analysis.
render_instance(template_params)	Templates the *_Instance file for the model. The templated result will be inserted into the final District Energy System model in order to instantiate/define the model instance.
run_template(template, save_file_name[, ...])	Helper method to create the file from Jinja2's templating framework.
to_dict(scaffold)
to_modelica(scaffold)	Create timeSeries models based on the data in the buildings and geojsons

add_building(urbanopt_building, mapper=None)

Add building to the load to be translated. This is simply a helper method.

Parameters:

• urbanopt_building – an urbanopt_building (also known as a geojson_load)

• mapper – placeholder object for mapping between urbanopt_building and load_connector building.

copy_required_mo_files(dest_folder, within=None)

Copy any required_mo_files to the destination and update the within clause if defined. The required mo files need to be added as full paths to the required_mo_files member variable in the connectors derived classes.

Parameters:

• dest_folder – String, folder to copy the resulting MO files into.

• within – String, within clause to be replaced in the .mo file. Note that the original MO file needs to

have a within clause defined to be replaced.

ft2_to_m2(area_in_ft2: float) → float

Converts square feet to square meters

Parameters:

area_in_ft2 – Area in square feet to be converted to square meters

post_process(scaffold)

Cleanup the export of time series files into a format suitable for the district-based analysis. This includes the following:

• Add a Loads project

• Add a project level project

Parameters:

scaffold – Scaffold object, Scaffold of the entire directory of the project.

Returns:

None

render_instance(template_params)

Templates the *_Instance file for the model. The templated result will be inserted into the final District Energy System model in order to instantiate/define the model instance.

Parameters:

template_params – dict, parameters for the template

Returns:

tuple (str, str), the templated result followed by the name of the file used for templating

run_template(template, save_file_name, do_not_add_to_list=False, **kwargs)

Helper method to create the file from Jinja2’s templating framework.

Parameters:

• template – object, Jinja template from the template_env.get_template() command.

• save_file_name – string, fully qualified path to save the rendered template to.

• do_not_add_to_list – boolean, set to true if you do not want the file to be added to the package.order

• kwargs – These are the arguments that need to be passed to the template.

Returns:

None

to_modelica(scaffold)

Create timeSeries models based on the data in the buildings and geojsons

Parameters:

scaffold – Scaffold object, Scaffold of the entire directory of the project.
