oemof.tools.economics.annuity(capex, n, wacc, u=None, cost_decrease=0)[source]
Calculates the annuity of an initial investment ‘capex’, considering the

cost of capital ‘wacc’ during a project horizon ‘n’

In case of a single initial investment, the employed formula reads:

annuity = capex cdot

rac{(wacc cdot (1+wacc)^n)}
{((1 + wacc)^n - 1)}

In case of repeated investments (due to replacements) at fixed intervals ‘u’, the formula yields:

annuity = capex cdot

rac{(wacc cdot (1+wacc)^n)}
{((1 + wacc)^n - 1)} cdot left(

rac{1 - left( rac{(1-cost_decrease)}

{(1+wacc)}
ight)^n}
{1 - left(

rac{(1-cost_decrease)}{(1+wacc)}

ight)^u} ight)

capex : float
Capital expenditure for first investment. Net Present Value (NPV) or Net Present Cost (NPC) of investment
n : int
Horizon of the analysis, or number of years the annuity wants to be obtained for (n>=1)
wacc : float
Weighted average cost of capital (0<wacc<1)
u : int
Lifetime of the investigated investment. Might be smaller than the analysis horizon, ‘n’, meaning it will have to be replaced. Takes value ‘n’ if not specified otherwise (u>=1)
cost_decrease : float
Annual rate of cost decrease (due to, e.g., price experience curve). This only influences the result for investments corresponding to replacements, whenever u<n. Takes value 0, if not specified otherwise (0<cost_decrease<1)
float
annuity

oemof.tools.helpers module

This is a collection of helper functions which work on their own and can be used by various classes. If there are too many helper-functions, they will be sorted in different modules.

oemof.tools.helpers.extend_basic_path(subfolder)[source]

Returns a path based on the basic oemof path and creates it if necessary. The subfolder is the name of the path extension.

oemof.tools.helpers.flatten(d, parent_key='', sep='_')[source]

Flatten dictionary by compressing keys.

See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6027558/
flatten-nested-python-dictionaries-compressing-keys

d : dictionary sep : separator for flattening keys

Returns:
Return type:dict
oemof.tools.helpers.get_basic_path()[source]

Returns the basic oemof path and creates it if necessary. The basic path is the ‘.oemof’ folder in the $HOME directory.

oemof.tools.logger.check_git_branch()[source]

Passes the used branch and commit to the logger

The following test reacts on a local system different than on Travis-CI. Therefore, a try/except test is created.

>>> from oemof.tools import logger
>>> try:
...    v = logger.check_git_branch()
... except FileNotFoundError:
...    v = 'dsfafasdfsdf'
>>> type(v)
<class 'str'>
oemof.tools.logger.check_version()[source]

Returns the actual version number of the used oemof version.

>>> from oemof.tools import logger
>>> v = logger.check_version()
>>> int(v.split('.')[0])
0
oemof.tools.logger.define_logging(logpath=None, logfile='oemof.log', file_format=None, screen_format=None, file_datefmt=None, screen_datefmt=None, screen_level=20, file_level=10, log_version=True, log_path=True, timed_rotating=None)[source]

Initialise customisable logger.

Parameters:
  • logfile (str) – Name of the log file, default: oemof.log
  • logpath (str) – The path for log files. By default a “.oemof’ folder is created in your home directory with subfolder called ‘log_files’.
  • file_format (str) – Format of the file output. Default: “%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(module)s - %(message)s”
  • screen_format (str) – Format of the screen output. Default: “%(asctime)s-%(levelname)s-%(message)s”
  • file_datefmt (str) – Format of the datetime in the file output. Default: None
  • screen_datefmt (str) – Format of the datetime in the screen output. Default: “%H:%M:%S”
  • screen_level (int) – Level of logging to stdout. Default: 20 (logging.INFO)
  • file_level (int) – Level of logging to file. Default: 10 (logging.DEBUG)
  • log_version (boolean) – If True the actual version or commit is logged while initialising the logger.
  • log_path (boolean) – If True the used file path is logged while initialising the logger.
  • timed_rotating (dict) – Option to pass parameters to the TimedRotatingFileHandler.
Returns:

str

Return type:

Place where the log file is stored.

Notes

By default the INFO level is printed on the screen and the DEBUG level in a file, but you can easily configure the logger. Every module that wants to create logging messages has to import the logging module. The oemof logger module has to be imported once to initialise it.

Examples

To define the default logger you have to import the python logging library and this function. The first logging message should be the path where the log file is saved to.

>>> import logging
>>> from oemof.tools import logger
>>> mypath = logger.define_logging(
...     log_path=True, log_version=True, timed_rotating={'backupCount': 4},
...     screen_level=logging.ERROR, screen_datefmt = "no_date")
>>> mypath[-9:]
'oemof.log'
>>> logging.debug("Hallo")
oemof.tools.logger.get_version()[source]

Returns a string part of the used version. If the commit and the branch is available the commit and the branch will be returned otherwise the version number.

>>> from oemof.tools import logger
>>> v = logger.get_version()
>>> type(v)
<class 'str'>
