MhkCosts¶

Wrapper for SAM Simulation Core model: cmod_mhk_costs.cpp

Creating an Instance¶

There are three methods to create a new instance of a PySAM module. Using default populates the newclass’ attributes with default values specific to a config. Each technology-financialconfiguration corresponds to a SAM GUI configuration. Using new creates an instance with empty attributes. The wrap function allows compatibility with PySSC, for details, refer to PySSC.

MhkCosts model description

MhkCosts

PySAM.MhkCosts.default(config) → MhkCosts¶: Use financial config-specific default attributes

PySAM.MhkCosts.from_existing(data, optional config) → MhkCosts¶: Share underlying data with an existing PySAM class. If config provided, default attributes are loaded otherwise.

PySAM.MhkCosts.new() → MhkCosts¶

PySAM.MhkCosts.wrap(ssc_data_t) → MhkCosts¶: Use existing PySSC data

Warning

Do not call PySSC.data_free on the ssc_data_t provided to wrap

Functions¶

class PySAM.MhkCosts.MhkCosts¶

This class contains all the variable information for running a simulation. Variables are grouped together in the subclasses as properties. If property assignments are the wrong type, an error is thrown.

assign(dict) → None¶

Assign attributes from nested dictionary, except for Outputs

nested_dict = { 'MHKCosts': { var: val, ...}, ...}

execute(int verbosity) → None¶: Execute simulation with verbosity level 0 (default) or 1

export() → dict¶: Export attributes into nested dictionary

value(name, optional value) → Union[None, float, dict, sequence, str]¶: Get or set by name a value in any of the variable groups.
