Consistent Converters

API changes

• The OffsetConverter expects two dictionaries now instead of the coefficient tuple. These are, conversion_factors with the slope relative to the NonConvex flow, and normed_offsets with the normed offsets relative to the NonConvex flow.
• The NonConvex attribute must be specified for one of Flow at the inlets or outlets of the OffsetConverter. min, max and nominal_value have to be specified for the same Flow.

New features

• OffsetConverter can now handle multiple inputs and outputs
• There are two methods available for the OffsetConverter to calculate the slope and normed offset relative to the NonConvex input given the min, max and the respective efficiencies/ratios, i.e. slope_offset_from_nonconvex_input and slope_offset_from_nonconvex_output.

Bug fixes

• Fix custom attributes of Sink, Source, GenericCHP and Converter components not being properly passed to base Node class

Other changes

• Unified (usage) documentation for OffsetConverter
• Remove approach to model cellular systems (was more confusing than it helped)
• Refine indexing of flows (period index was not needed).

Known issues

• Incompatible to numpy >= 2.0.0. This is because of Pyomo, but we have to enforce a lower version in our package.

Next Network

v0.5.2 - next network

API changes

• New bool attribute use_remaining_value of oemof.solph.EnergySystem
• Use list for period definition in multi-period investment optimization.

New features

• Allow for evaluating differences in the remaining vs. the original value
  for multi-period investments.
• Allow to define minimum up- and down-time per time step

Bug fixes

• Fix handling of investment annuities and fixed costs for multi-period models:
  Limit to costs that occur within the optimization horizon to prevent a
  bias towards investments happening earlier in the optimization horizon.
• Fix bugs in multi-period documentation.
• Fix minimum uptime being relevant for initial downtime (and vice versa).
• Fix duplicated discounting of fixed costs for multi-period investment

Other changes

• Improved compatibility with upcoming oemof.network

Known issues

• Documentation, example and API of OffsetConverter are inconsistent
  and might not work as expected.

v0.5.1: Compliant Converter

API changes

• The component Transformer is renamed to Converter.
  When people hear "transformer", they think of electrical devices.
  However, the Transformer is neither meant to be (only) electrical
  nor bidirectional (as electrical transformers typically are).
  Thus, the more generic term "converter" is now used.
  (Note that we always had the argument "conversion_factor".)
• Unify API for constant sized objects and sizing of investment. For both, Flow and
  GenericStorage, the argument investment is now deprecated. Instead,
  nominal_value and nominal_storage_capacity accept an Investment object.
• Change investment for experimental :class:oemof.solph.components.experimental._sink_dsm.SinkDSM: Remove
  obsolete parameters flex_share_down and flex_share_up.
• Mainline link component :class:oemof.solph.components._link.Link from experimental.

New features

• Add option to run multi-period (dynamic) investment models with oemof.solph as an experimental feature:
  • You can change from standard model to multi-period model by defining the newly introduced periods
    attribute of your energy system. Be aware that it is experimental as of now. periods is a dictionary
    mapping the periods you want to model (usually years) to pandas.date_range objects.
  • Add attributes periods to :class:oemof.solph._energy_system.EnergySystem.
  • Introduce new Pyomo Sets PERIODS and TIMEINDEX in :class:oemof.solph.models.Model.
  • Index all investment-related variables with PERIODS and flow variable with TIMEINDEX, which
    is a tuple of periods and timesteps.
  • Add lifetime tracking for investment options by introducing the attributes lifetime and age.
  • Add new investment-related variables total holding the total capacity, old holding capacity
    to be decommissioned, old_exo (for exogenous) holding existing capacity to be decommissioned and
    old_end holding model-endogenously installed capacity to be decommissioned after its lifetime.
  • Include discounting and calculating annuities in the objective function terms. Introduce attribute discount_rate
    of :class:oemof.solph.models.Model and interest_rate for individual investment objects (options.Investment).
• Add storage_level_constraint that allows to set flows from/to storage (in)active based on storage content.
• Model now accepts a list of EnergySystem objects, which allows for modelling of cellular energysystems.

Documentation

• See extensive documentation in user guide and API reference for the new (experimental) multi-period feature.
• Be more strict about about oemof (meta package) oemof.solph (this package).
• Improved presentation of examples as part of the documentation.

Bug fixes

• Fixed error when calling oemof_installation_test as console script.
• Corrected several typos in the docs.
• Periods with multiple period lengths are now supported in multi-period investment.
• Add missing 'custom_attributes' for the link component

Testing

• Add tests for experimental SinkDSM component.
• Add tests for multi-period investment.

v0.5.0: Rigorous refactoring

v0.5.0 (February 3rd, 2023)

API changes

• Parts of the energy system graph are now clearly structured into buses, components, and flows.
• Public and private API are be more distinguished now. ('_' signifies private, public API is defined in init files.)
• Experimental code is now sitting in submodules called experimental (replaces "custom").
• The flow arguments summed_minand summed_max now have the more descriptive names full_load_time_min and full_load_time_max.
• Keyword arguments are now explicit. Among other things, this will catch typos. Custom attributes can be added using the argument custom_attributes. Those will be passed down the class hierachy and can (possibly) be handled in parent classes.

New features

• Add inactivity_costs as an option for Flows. Inactivity costs is a cost for times where a Flow is not operated.
• It is now possible to optimise the size of Flows that have a status variable. Internally, this is done by the InvestNonConvexFlowBlock which provides the possibility to perform capacity optimization of assets considering their min/max loads, as well as their operation status.

Documentation

• Examples are added to the documentation.

Testing

• Discontinued usage of Nose, as it is deprecated in Pytest <https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/deprecations.html#support-for-tests-written-for-nose>.

Known issues

• The format of the examples could be improved.

Note

• Tags v0.5.0, v0.5.0a, and v0.5.0b have identical source code.
• The tag has been adjusted to have a working DOI for this code.
