General architectureΒΆ
In this section we will describe the general architecture of the simulator.
The simulation manager manages model configuration and simulation execution, see section Simulation manager. The simulation manager uses ESDL as input. The project contains a wrapper class around pyesdl, see ESDL object class.
In addtion, a configuration object is required, that contains the configuration for the simulation, see section Configuration class.
When the simulation is executed it creates a heat network class and a heat network controller class. Both of these classes use factories methods to create the assets needed, see Asset factories. Both the heat network object and the controller object are used to create a network simulation object, which runs the simulation and passes back the results.
