Sco2AirCooler¶
Wrapper for SAM Simulation Core model: cmod_sco2_air_cooler.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.
Sco2AirCooler model description
Supercritical CO2 Power Cycle Air Cooler
-
PySAM.Sco2AirCooler.default(config) → Sco2AirCooler¶ Use financial config-specific default attributes
-
PySAM.Sco2AirCooler.from_existing(data, optional config) → Sco2AirCooler¶ Share underlying data with an existing PySAM class. If config provided, default attributes are loaded otherwise.
-
PySAM.Sco2AirCooler.new() → Sco2AirCooler¶
-
PySAM.Sco2AirCooler.wrap(ssc_data_t) → Sco2AirCooler¶ Use existing PySSC data
Warning
Do not call PySSC.data_free on the ssc_data_t provided to
wrap
Functions¶
-
class
PySAM.Sco2AirCooler.Sco2AirCooler¶ 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 = { 'Common': { 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.
-
Common Group¶
