fastga_he.models.propulsion.components.connectors.rectifier.components.lcc_rectifier_operational_cost module

class fastga_he.models.propulsion.components.connectors.rectifier.components.lcc_rectifier_operational_cost.LCCRectifierOperationalCost(**kwargs)

Bases: ExplicitComponent

Computation of the annual operational cost of rectifier. The diodes are considered as the throttle components in the system. The estimated rectifier life expectancy is based on the lifespan of the IGBTs given by [SPSP18] .

Store some bound methods so we can detect runtime overrides.

initialize()

Perform any one-time initialization run at instantiation.

setup()

Declare inputs and outputs.

Available attributes:

name pathname comm options

setup_partials()

Declare partials.

This is meant to be overridden by component classes. All partials should be declared here since this is called after all size/shape information is known for all variables.

compute(inputs, outputs, discrete_inputs=None, discrete_outputs=None)

Compute outputs given inputs. The model is assumed to be in an unscaled state.

An inherited component may choose to either override this function or to define a compute_primal function.

Parameters:

• inputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional input variables read via inputs[key].

• outputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional output variables read via outputs[key].

• discrete_inputs (dict-like or None) – If not None, dict-like object containing discrete input values.

• discrete_outputs (dict-like or None) – If not None, dict-like object containing discrete output values.

compute_partials(inputs, partials, discrete_inputs=None)

Compute sub-jacobian parts. The model is assumed to be in an unscaled state.

Parameters:

• inputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional input variables read via inputs[key].

• partials (Jacobian) – Sub-jac components written to partials[output_name, input_name]..

• discrete_inputs (dict or None) – If not None, dict containing discrete input values.
