Pie chart for supply/conversion technologies

[daren-thomas]

("capacity_hp", "capacity_chp", "capacity_boiler")

[christophwaibel]

note that I'm trying to follow a flexible approach in the Results class:

        /// <summary>
        /// Names for each supply technology, e.g. "Boiler", "CHP", ...
        /// </summary>
        public string[] SupplyNames { get; private set; }
        /// <summary>
        /// Matrix defining the suitability of each technology per carrier type.
        /// Rows: Technologies
        /// Columns: [0]: Electricity, [1]: Heating, [2]: Cooling
        /// </summary>
        public bool[,] SupplyTypes { get; private set; }
        /// <summary>
        /// Capacity per technology. Unit is defined in 'SupplyCapUnits
        /// </summary>
        public double[] SupplyCapacities { get; private set; }

Group w/ systems that provide electricity, cogeneration, heat only... etc.

@amraladdin Be creative... Doesnt' have to be a Pie chart

Hey @christophwaibel do you have a list of the technologies we have? I remember there was an issue about that. I have:

• Gas (Boiler)
• Oil (Burner)
• Wind (Turbines)
• Solar (PV, ST, PVT)
• Geothermal (HP)

[christophwaibel]

@amraladdin so, I would aim for a flexible approach, where it reads any technology from string [] SupplyNames:

Let's say, SupplyNames = {"boiler", "ASHP", "PV", "battery", "chiller"}, then it plots these technologies. the units would come from string [] SupplyCapUnits and the capacity from double [] SupplyCapacities and the suitability (heating, cooling, elec, co-gen) from the matrix bool[,] SupplyTypes

does that make sense?

[amraladdin]

Refer to issue #123

Exactly what I had in mind, but then thought that Daren would want to know the RGB of the different systems. If that's not needed, that's perfect. I started making a larger pallette for many different systems, see below:

[daren-thomas]

@ChrisZenhub why multiple lists of strings etc? what about a SupplySystemDefinition object? to group the stuff together that belongs together?

[christophwaibel]

SupplySystemDefinition

@daren-thomas good point, that would make a lot of sense to feed in all the objects that I'm moving around and processing within the core also into the Visualizer.

I already have a class Hive.IO.EnergySystem.Generation. I am currently extending it such that it contains timeseries as well (which are populated within Hive.Core).

Ok, so I would need a bit more time until I restructured the dataflow and data structure from Hive Input into Hive.Core into Hive Visualizer.

If you already want to work on this graph ,for now you could consider that you read following class:

public class EnergySystems.Conversion
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Technology name
    /// </summary>
    public string Name { get; protected set; }
    /// <summary>
    /// Indicating whether this technology produces electricity
    /// </summary>
    public bool IsElectric { get; protected set; }
    /// <summary>
    /// Indicating whether this technology produces heat
    /// </summary>
    public bool IsHeating { get; protected set; }
    /// <summary>
    /// Indicating whether this technology produces cooling
    /// </summary>
    public bool IsCooling { get; protected set; }
    /// <summary>
    /// Capacity of technology. Unit is defined in 'CapacityUnit'
    /// </summary>
    public double Capacity { get; protected set; }
    /// <summary>
    /// Unit of technology capacity (e.g. "kW", or "sqm", etc.)
    /// </summary>
    public string CapacityUnit { get; protected set; }

    public Conversion(){ }
}

Update: I'm removing myself as Assignee from this issue since there's no more work to be done from my side.

[amraladdin]

Update: We still need to decide how this plot should look like.

[christophwaibel]

just decide it then ;-) you're the designer

[amraladdin]

That was a reminder for me that this issue was not finished yet, but thanks for the comment :D

Here we go:

@christophwaibel how do I find this data?
