LoadModule.step

LoadModule.step(action, normalized=True)

Take one step in the module, attempting to draw or send action amount of energy.

Parameters

actionfloat or np.ndarray, shape (1,)

The amount of energy to draw or send.

If normalized, the action is assumed to be normalized and is un-normalized into the range [BaseModule.min_act, BaseModule.max_act].

If the unnormalized action is positive, the module acts as a source and provides energy to the microgrid. Otherwise, the module acts as a sink and absorbs energy.

If the unnormalized action implies acting as a sink and is_sink is False – or the converse – an AssertionError is raised.

normalizedbool, default True

Whether action is normalized. If True, action is assumed to be normalized and is un-normalized into the range [BaseModule.min_act, BaseModule.max_act].

Raises

AssertionError

If action implies acting as a source and module is not a source. Likewise if action implies acting as a sink and module is not a sink.

Returns

observationnp.ndarray

State of the module after taking action action.

rewardfloat

Reward/cost after taking the action.

donebool

Whether the module terminates.

infodict

Additional information from this step. Will include either``provided_energy`` or absorbed_energy as a key, denoting the amount of energy this module provided to or absorbed from the microgrid.
