Constructor Detail

EvCharger

public EvCharger()

Default constructor, requires manual setting of name

EvCharger

public EvCharger(String name)

Constructor with name

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize()

Overrides:

initialize in class AbstractCustomer

handleInitialSubscription

public void handleInitialSubscription(List<TariffSubscription> subscriptions)

Overrides:

handleInitialSubscription in class AbstractCustomer

getCustomerInfo

public CustomerInfo getCustomerInfo()

Specified by:

getCustomerInfo in interface CustomerModelAccessor

getDefaultCapacityProfile

public CapacityProfile getDefaultCapacityProfile()

Creates, if necessary, and returns the configured default capacity profile, presumably suitable for a flat-rate tariff.

getMeanDefaultCapacity

public double getMeanDefaultCapacity()

Returns the mean hourly capacity per-charger, or the mean value of the defaultCapacityProfile

getCapacityProfile

public CapacityProfile getCapacityProfile(Tariff tariff)

Specified by:

getCapacityProfile in interface CustomerModelAccessor

getDemandSeed

public RandomSeed getDemandSeed()

Returns the random seed for generating demand

getBrokerSwitchFactor

public double getBrokerSwitchFactor(boolean isSuperseding)

Specified by:

getBrokerSwitchFactor in interface CustomerModelAccessor

getTariffChoiceSample

public double getTariffChoiceSample()

Specified by:

getTariffChoiceSample in interface CustomerModelAccessor

getInertiaSample

public double getInertiaSample()

Specified by:

getInertiaSample in interface CustomerModelAccessor

getShiftingInconvenienceFactor

public double getShiftingInconvenienceFactor(Tariff tariff)

Specified by:

getShiftingInconvenienceFactor in interface CustomerModelAccessor

notifyCustomer

public void notifyCustomer(TariffSubscription oldsub,
                           TariffSubscription newsub,
                           int count)

Called when some portion of the population switches from one tariff to another. This is a customer model, so after the initial subscription (see handleInitialSubscription) every member of the population is always subscribed to some tariff or another.

Specified by:

notifyCustomer in interface CustomerModelAccessor

step

public void step()

Specified by:

step in class AbstractCustomer

evaluateTariffs

public void evaluateTariffs(List<Tariff> tariffs)

Specified by:

evaluateTariffs in class AbstractCustomer

saveBootstrapState

public void saveBootstrapState()

Bootstrap data is just the content of the StorageState. For this we need to know the timeslot index of the first timeslot in the sim session.

Overrides:

saveBootstrapState in class AbstractCustomer

getDemandInfo

public List<org.powertac.customer.evcharger.DemandElement> getDemandInfo(org.joda.time.DateTime time)

Returns a vector of DemandElement instances representing the number of vehicles that plug in now and unplug in a future timeslot, and how needed energy is distributed.

getDemandInfoMean

public List<ArrayList<org.powertac.customer.evcharger.DemandElement>> getDemandInfoMean()
