v0.8.3

Frequenz Common API Release Notes

Summary

Added model and operational_mode fields to electrical components and sensors, deprecating separate manufacturer and model_number fields.

Upgrading

• The following fields have been deprecated in the package v1alpha8, and will be removed in a future release:
  • microgrid.electrical_components.ElectricalComponent.manufacturer (string): The manufacturer of the electrical component.
  • microgrid.electrical_components.ElectricalComponent.model_number (string): The model number of the electrical component.
  • microgrid.sensors.Sensor.manufacturer (string): The manufacturer of the sensor.
  • microgrid.sensors.Sensor.model_number (string): The model number of the sensor.

New Features

• The following new entities have been added to the package v1alpha8:
  • Enum microgrid.electrical_components.ElectricalComponentOperationalMode: Enumeration of the possible operational modes of an electrical component - inactive, telemetry-only, control-only, and control-and-telemetry.
  • Field microgrid.electrical_components.ElectricalComponent.operational_mode: Defines if an electrical component is active, if it provides telemetry data, and if it accepts control commands.
  • Field microgrid.electrical_components.ElectricalComponent.model: The model name of the electrical component, including the manufacturer and model number.
  • Field microgrid.sensors.Sensor.model: The model name of the sensor, including the manufacturer and model number.
