Cooking Appliances ================== In this example, appliances with multiple preferences index and attributes are modelled. To have a better understanding of RAMP features for modelling this category of appliances, two households are considered: 1. A household with a fixed lunch habit of eating soup every day. 2. A household with two lunch preferences: cooking soup or rice. The number of user preferences can be specified through **“user_preference”** parameter when initializing a **User** instance. .. code:: ipython3 # importing functions from ramp import User, UseCase, get_day_type import pandas as pd Creating a user category ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. code:: ipython3 user_1 = User( user_name="Household with single lunch habit", num_users=1, user_preference=1, # user_1 has only one lunch preference ) user_2 = User( user_name="Household with different lunch habits", num_users=1, user_preference=2, # user_2 has two lunch preferences ) Defining the cycles for cooking soup and rice ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For cooking soup it is assumed that the user needs 25 minutes divided into two parts: ============= ===== ==== cycle power time ============= ===== ==== Boiling Water 1200 5 Cooking soup 750 20 ============= ===== ==== For cooking rice it is assumed that the user needs 15 minutes divided into two parts: ============= ===== ==== cycle power time ============= ===== ==== Boiling Water 1200 5 Cooking rice 600 10 ============= ===== ==== .. code:: ipython3 # soup for lunch soup_1 = user_1.add_appliance( name="soup for lunch", power=1200, func_time=25, func_cycle=25, thermal_p_var=0.2, fixed_cycle=1, window_1=[12 * 60, 15 * 60], p_11=1200, # power of the first cycle t_11=5, # time needed for the first cycle p_12=750, # power of the second cycle t_12=20, # time needed for the second cycle cw11=[12 * 60, 15 * 60], ) The second user has two different preferences for lunch. Accordingly, we need to model these preferences and their characteristics as two different appliances. Each preference needs to be specified with its associated cooking energy needs, such as the power, functioning time and the duty cycles of the cooking process. More importantly, for each preference, the user needs to specify the index of preference by using the **pref_index** parameter. In this example, soup is the first preference of the user (pref_index = 1), and rice is the second one (pref_index = 2). .. code:: ipython3 # soup for lunch soup_2 = user_2.add_appliance( name="soup for lunch", power=1200, func_time=25, func_cycle=25, thermal_p_var=0.2, fixed_cycle=1, pref_index=1, # the first preference window_1=[12 * 60, 15 * 60], p_11=1200, # power of the first cycle t_11=5, # time needed for the first cycle p_12=750, # power of the second cycle t_12=20, # time needed for the second cycle cw11=[12 * 60, 15 * 60], ) .. code:: ipython3 # rice for lunch rice_2 = user_2.add_appliance( name="rice for lunch", power=1200, func_time=15, func_cycle=15, thermal_p_var=0.2, pref_index=2, # the second preference fixed_cycle=1, window_1=[12 * 60, 15 * 60], p_11=1200, # power of the first cycle t_11=5, # time needed for the first cycle p_12=600, # power of the second cycle t_12=10, # time needed for the second cycle cw11=[12 * 60, 15 * 60], ) .. code:: ipython3 # you can have an overview of data inputs by usering User.export_to_dataframe method user_lunch = UseCase(users=[user_1, user_2], date_start="2020-01-01") user_lunch.export_to_dataframe().T .. raw:: html
