Lcoefcr

Wrapper for SAM Simulation Core model: cmod_lcoefcr.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.

Lcoefcr model description

Calculate levelized cost of electricity using fixed charge rate method instead of cash flow

PySAM.Lcoefcr.default(config) → Lcoefcr

Use financial config-specific default attributes config options:

  • “BiopowerLCOECalculator”
  • “DSGLIPHLCOHCalculator”
  • “DSLFLCOECalculator”
  • “DishStirlingLCOECalculator”
  • “EmpiricalTroughLCOECalculator”
  • “FlatPlatePVLCOECalculator”
  • “GenericCSPSystemLCOECalculator”
  • “GenericSystemLCOECalculator”
  • “GeothermalPowerLCOECalculator”
  • “HighXConcentratingPVLCOECalculator”
  • “MEtidalLCOECalculator”
  • “MEwaveLCOECalculator”
  • “MSLFLCOECalculator”
  • “PVWattsLCOECalculator”
  • “PhysicalTroughIPHLCOHCalculator”
  • “PhysicalTroughLCOECalculator”
  • “SolarWaterHeatingLCOECalculator”
  • “WindPowerLCOECalculator”
PySAM.Lcoefcr.from_existing(data, optional config) → Lcoefcr

Share underlying data with an existing PySAM class. If config provided, default attributes are loaded otherwise.

PySAM.Lcoefcr.new() → Lcoefcr
PySAM.Lcoefcr.wrap(ssc_data_t) → Lcoefcr

Use existing PySSC data

Warning

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

Functions

class PySAM.Lcoefcr.Lcoefcr

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 = { 'Simple LCOE': { 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.

SimpleLCOE Group
