Component to turn an energy carrying medium like gas into electric and thermal power. 2 different kinds of capacities have to be implemented for this, but since the production of electric power takes precedent the cost in the target function depends only on that

Parameters:

  • capex (float, optional) – Capital expenditure cost of the component per electrical power [€/kW], by default 0

  • opex (float, optional) – Operational expenditure cost of the component per CAPEX per year [%/a], by default 0

  • eff_elt (float) – electrical efficiency of the plant [kW electricity per kW gas]

  • eff_heat (float) – thermal efficiency of the plant [kW heat per kW gas]

  • installed_power (float, optional) – Already installed electrical power of the component [kW] which acts as a lower bound, by default 0

  • potential_power (float | None, optional) – Maximum installable electrical power of the component [kW], by default None
