INSELpy

This module allows to execute INSEL models from Python, and can be used to write unit tests for INSEL blocks and models.

Single blocks

It can run single blocks, with the specified inputs, parameters and number of outputs:

>>> import insel
>>> insel.block('pi')
3.141593
>>> insel.block('sum', 2, 3)
5.0
>>> insel.block('do', parameters=[1, 10, 1])
[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0]
>>> insel.block('do', parameters=[1, 10, 1])
[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0]
>>> insel.block('gain', 2, 5, 7, parameters=[3], outputs=3)
[6.0, 15.0, 21.0]

INSEL templates

INSELpy can also run INSEL templates:

% Calculates a*b
s 1 MUL  3.1 2.1
s 2 CONST
p 2
           $a || 3$
s 3 CONST
p 3
           $b || 3$
s 4 SCREEN  1.1
p 4
    '*'

Templates will be searched inside the 'templates/' folder, relative to the current working directory.

Either in the REPL:

>>> insel.template('a_times_b', a=7, b=3)
21.0
>>> insel.template('photovoltaic/i_sc', pv_id='008823', temperature=25, irradiance=1000)
5.87388

or in complete scripts:

import insel

name = 'Roma'
lat = 41.8
lon = 12.58
timezone = 1

irradiances = insel.template('weather/get_irradiance_profile', latitude=lat, longitude=lon)
print(irradiances)
# => [71.0, 106.0, 158.0, 208.0, 251.0, 275.0, 286.0, 257.0, 196.0, 137.0, 84.0, 63.0]

print((insel.template('weather/average_irradiance_on_tilted_surface',
                      tilt=30,
                      azimuth=180,
                      irradiance_profile=irradiances,
                      latitude=lat,
                      longitude=lon,
                      timezone=timezone)))
# => 195.8578

Vseit models

Insel graphical models (Vseit) are valid templates. Constants defined by Define global constant block can be modified in Python.

If no value is specified in Python, the value defined in the block will be used by default.

>>> insel.template('constants/x_plus_y.vseit')
3.0
>>> insel.template('constants/x_plus_y.vseit', x=5)
7.0
>>> insel.template('constants/x_plus_y.vseit', x=5, y=5)
10.0

If the Vseit model contains a PLOT block, it will be deactivated by default. In order to launch gnuplot anyway, insel.template('model.vseit', gnuplot=True) can be used.

INSEL models

It can also simply run complete models:

>>> insel.run('/usr/local/insel/examples/meteorology/sunae.vseit')
