ElectricityEnergyCost
Purpose: Models the cost and carbon emissions associated with electricity consumption.
Key Attributes
weekday_energy_prices: Energy prices for weekdays by hour.weekend_energy_prices: Energy prices for weekends by hour.carbon_emission_rates: Carbon emission rates by hour.
Key Methods
__init__(...): Initializes the energy cost model with price and emission schedules.cost(start_time, end_time, energy_rate): Calculates the cost of electricity consumed over a time interval.carbon(start_time, end_time, energy_rate): Calculates the carbon emissions from electricity consumption over a time interval.
Calculation Logic
- Determines the appropriate energy price and carbon emission rate based on the time and day.
- Converts energy rates to costs and emissions using provided schedules.
- Supports variable pricing and emission factors throughout the day.
