Flare(capex, max_gas_uptake, threshold)
A class that represents a flare.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
capex | int | Capital expenditure of the flare. | required |
max_gas_uptake | int | Maximum gas the flare can process [Nm³/h]. | required |
threshold | float | The threshold at which the flare starts to operate. | required |
Source code in src/bsm2_python/energy_management/flare.py

calculate_load(gas_surplus)
Calculates the load of the flare depending on the gas surplus.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
gas_surplus | float | The gas surplus that the flare has to process [Nm³/h]. | required |

produce()
Returns the production of the flare. Flare does not produce anything, only here to satisfy the Module interface.

consume()
Returns the consumption of the flare at the current load.
