pyadm1.components.energy.heating.HeatingSystem

Bases: Component

Heating system for maintaining digester temperature.

Calculates heat demand and energy consumption based on temperature difference and available waste heat from CHP.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
target_temperature

Target digester temperature in K.
heat_loss_coefficient

Heat loss coefficient in kW/K.
feedstock

Feedstock used to derive per-substrate density and c_p for the sensible-heat term. Optional — when omitted, only the UAΔT loss term contributes to demand.
Example

heating = HeatingSystem("heat1", target_temperature=308.15, heat_loss_coefficient=0.5) heating.initialize() result = heating.step(t=0, dt=1/24, inputs={"T_digester": 308.15, "P_th_available": 200})

pyadm1.components.energy.flare.Flare

Bases: Component

Flare component for combusting vented biogas.

The flare accepts an input Q_gas_in_m3_per_day and will combust it. It reports vented_volume_m3 for the current timestep and cumulative_vented_m3.

Parameters

component_id : str Unique id for the flare component. destruction_efficiency : float Fraction of methane destroyed (0..1). Default 0.98. name : Optional[str] Human readable name.

def step(self, t: float, dt: float, inputs: Dict[str, Any]) -> Dict[str, Any]:

    Perform one simulation time step.

    The boiler fires to satisfy ``P_th_demand`` up to its nominal
    capacity.  Gas is drawn first from available biogas (if provided),
    then from the natural gas grid if the fuel mode allows it.

    Args:
        t:  Current simulation time [days].
        dt: Time step [days].
        inputs: Dict with optional keys:
            - ``P_th_demand`` [kW]:
                Heat demand to be covered.  Accepts ``P_aux_heat``
                (the key emitted by :class:`HeatingSystem`) as alias.
            - ``Q_gas_available_m3_per_day`` [m3/d]:
                Biogas available from gas storage.  Only relevant for
                ``fuel_type`` ``"biogas"`` or ``"dual"``.
            - ``enable`` [bool]:
                If *False*, boiler is forced off.  Default *True*.

    Returns:
        Dict with keys:
            - ``P_th_supplied`` [kW]:
                Actual thermal output delivered.
            - ``P_th_available`` [kW]:
                Alias for ``P_th_supplied`` (for HeatingSystem input).
            - ``Q_gas_consumed_m3_per_day`` [m3/d]:
                Biogas consumption rate.
            - ``Q_natural_gas_m3_per_day`` [m3/d]:
                Natural gas consumption rate.
            - ``is_running`` [bool]:
                Whether the boiler is currently firing.
            - ``load_fraction`` [float]:
                Current output as fraction of nominal (0-1).
            - ``efficiency_actual`` [float]:
                Effective efficiency at this load point.
