org.powertac.customer.model.LiftTruck

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.powertac.common.interfaces.CustomerModelAccessor

@ConfigurableInstance
public class LiftTruck
extends org.powertac.customer.AbstractCustomer
implements org.powertac.common.interfaces.CustomerModelAccessor

Models the complement of lift trucks in a warehouse. There may be multiple trucks, some number of battery packs, and a daily/weekly work schedule. Since the lead-acid batteries in most lift trucks have a limited number of charge/discharge cycles, we do not assume the ability to discharge batteries into the grid to provide balancing capacity. However, the charging rate is variable, and balancing capacity can be provided by adjusting the rate. Batteries and battery chargers are not modeled directly; instead, we simply keep track of the overall battery capacity and how it changes when shifts start and end, and when chargers run. Instances are created using the configureInstances() method. In addition to simple parameters, configuration can specify a shift schedule and the number and initial state-of-charge of battery packs. The work schedule is specified with a list of strings called weeklySchedule that lays out blocks of shifts. Each block is of the form
"block", d1, d2, ..., "shift" start, duration, ntrucks, "shift", ...
where d1, d2, etc. are integers giving the days of the week covered by the block, with Sunday=0; start is an integer hour, duration is an integer number of hours, and ntrucks is the number of trucks that will be active during the shift.

Constructor Detail

LiftTruck

public LiftTruck()

Default constructor, requires manual setting of name

LiftTruck

public LiftTruck(String name)

Standard constructor for named configurable type

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize()

Initialization must provide accessor to Customer instance and time. We assume configuration has already happened. We also start with no active trucks, and the weakest batteries on availableChargers. Trucks will not be active (in bootstrap mode) until the first shift change.

Overrides:

initialize in class org.powertac.customer.AbstractCustomer

getCustomerInfo

public org.powertac.common.CustomerInfo getCustomerInfo()

Specified by:

getCustomerInfo in interface org.powertac.common.interfaces.CustomerModelAccessor

step

public void step()

Specified by:

step in class org.powertac.customer.AbstractCustomer

getName

public String getName()

Overrides:

getName in class org.powertac.customer.AbstractCustomer

setName

public void setName(String name)

Overrides:

setName in class org.powertac.customer.AbstractCustomer

setTruckKW

setTruckStd

@ConfigurableValue(valueType="Double",
                   description="Std dev of truck power usage")

setShiftData

@ConfigurableValue(valueType="List",
                   description="shift spec [block, shift, ..., block, shift, ...]")
