Function control external circuit

class pybamm.external_circuit.FunctionControl(param, external_circuit_function)

External circuit with an arbitrary function.

get_fundamental_variables()

A public method that creates and returns the variables in a submodel which can be created independent of other submodels. For example, the electrolyte concentration variables can be created independent of whether any other variables have been defined in the model. As a rule, if a variable can be created without variables from other submodels, then it should be placed in this method.

Returns:The variables created by the submodel which are independent of variables in other submodels.
Return type:dict
set_algebraic(variables)

A method to set the differential equations which do not contain a time derivative. Note: this method modifies the state of self.algebraic. Unless overwritten by a submodel, the default behaviour of ‘pass’ is used as implemented in pybamm.BaseSubModel.

Parameters:variables (dict) – The variables in the whole model.
set_initial_conditions(variables)

A method to set the initial conditions for the submodel. Note: this method modifies the state of self.initial_conditions. Unless overwritten by a submodel, the default behaviour of ‘pass’ is used a implemented in pybamm.BaseSubModel.

Parameters:variables (dict) – The variables in the whole model.
class pybamm.external_circuit.VoltageFunctionControl(param)

External circuit with voltage control, implemented as an extra algebraic equation.

class pybamm.external_circuit.PowerFunctionControl(param)

External circuit with power control.
