Generate an R script that recreates an energyRt object

design() takes an energyRt object and returns (and optionally writes to a file) an R script that recreates it using the appropriate constructor function (e.g. newTechnology(), newCommodity(), etc.).

Usage

design(x, ...)

# S4 method for class 'technology'
design(x, file = NULL, var = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

An energyRt object (e.g. technology, commodity, supply, …).

...

Reserved for future use / class-specific arguments.

file

Optional character string. Path to a file to write the script to. If NULL (default), the script is printed to the console.

var

Optional character string. Name of the R variable to assign the result to in the generated script. Defaults to x@name.

Value

Invisibly returns the generated code as a character string.

Examples

ECOAL <- newTechnology(
  name    = "ECOAL",
  desc    = "Coal power plant",
  input   = data.frame(comm = "COAL", unit = "MMBtu", combustion = 1),
  output  = data.frame(comm = "ELC",  unit = "MWh"),
  cap2act = 8760,
  ceff    = data.frame(comm = "COAL", cinp2use = 1/10),
  olife   = data.frame(olife = 30L),
  region  = c("R1", "R2")
)
design(ECOAL)
