class CatalogueMixin

Bases: Generic[_T]

A mixin class for objects which can be built from a catalogue. It adds the from_catalogue class method.

classmethod catalogue_path() Path
Abstractmethod:

Get the path to the catalogue.

classmethod catalogue_data() _T
Abstractmethod:

Get the catalogue data.

classmethod from_catalogue(**kwargs) typing_extensions.Self
Abstractmethod:

Build an instance from the catalogue.

Keyword Arguments:

create. (Arguments that can be used to select the options of the instance to)

Returns:

The instance of the selected object.

class Identifiable(id: Id)

An identifiable object.

class JsonMixin

Mixin for classes that can be serialized to and from JSON.

classmethod from_dict(data: JsonDict, *, include_results: bool = True) typing_extensions.Self
Abstractmethod:

Create an element from a dictionary created with to_dict().

Note

This method does not work on all classes that define it as some of them require additional information to be constructed. It can only be safely used on the ElectricNetwork, LineParameters and TransformerParameters classes.

Parameters:
  • data – The dictionary containing the element’s data.

  • include_results – If True (default) and the results of the load flow are included in the dictionary, the results are also loaded into the element.

Returns:

The constructed element.

classmethod from_json(path: StrPath, *, include_results: bool = True) typing_extensions.Self

Construct an element from a JSON file created with to_json().

Note

This method does not work on all classes that define it as some of them require additional information to be constructed. It can only be safely used on the ElectricNetwork, LineParameters and TransformerParameters classes.

Parameters:
  • path – The path to the network data file.

  • include_results – If True (default) and the results of the load flow are included in the file, the results are also loaded into the element.

Returns:

The constructed element.

to_dict(*, include_results: bool = True) JsonDict

Convert the element to a dictionary.

Parameters:

include_results – If True (default), the results of the load flow are included in the dictionary. If no results are available, this option is ignored.

Returns:

A JSON serializable dictionary with the element’s data.

to_json(path: StrPath, *, include_results: bool = True) Path

Save this element to a JSON file.

Note

The path is expanded then resolved before writing the file.

Warning

If the file exists, it will be overwritten.

Parameters:
  • path – The path to the output file to write the network to.

  • include_results – If True (default), the results of the load flow are included in the JSON file. If no results are available, this option is ignored.

Returns:

The expanded and resolved path of the written file.

results_to_dict() JsonDict

Return the results of the element as a dictionary.

The results dictionary of an element contains the ID of the element, its phases, and the result. For example, bus.results_to_dict() returns a dictionary with the form:

{"id": "bus1", "phases": "an", "potentials": [[230.0, 0.0]]}

Note that complex values (like potentials in the example above) are stored as list of [real part, imaginary part] so that it is JSON-serializable.

The results dictionary of the network contains the results of all of its elements grouped by the element type. It has the form:

{
    "buses": [bus1_dict, bus2_dict, ...],
    "branches": [branch1_dict, branch2_dict, ...],
    "loads": [load1_dict, load2_dict, ...],
    "sources": [source1_dict, source2_dict, ...],
    "grounds": [ground1_dict, ground2_dict, ...],
    "potential_refs": [p_ref1_dict, p_ref2_dict, ...],
}

where each dict is produced by the element’s results_to_dict() method.

results_to_json(path: StrPath) Path

Write the results of the load flow to a json file.

Note

The path is expanded then resolved before writing the file.

Warning

If the file exists, it will be overwritten.

Parameters:

path – The path to the output file to write the results to.

Returns:

The expanded and resolved path of the written file.
