Links
Links are connecting the individual Nodes for the exchange of energy/mass. Links are directional, that is transport of mass/energy is only allowed in a single direction.

Link types
The following types for links are implemented in EnergyModelsBase. The thought process is to dispatch on the EMB.Formulation of a link as additional option. This is in the current stage not implemented.
EnergyModelsBase.Link — TypeDeclaration of the general type for links connecting nodes.
EnergyModelsBase.Direct — TypeDirect <: Link
A direct link between two nodes.
Fields
idis the name/identifier of the link.from::Nodeis the node from which there is flow into the link.to::Nodeis the node to which there is flow out of the link.formulation::Formulationis the used formulation of links. If not specified, aLinearlink is assumed.
EnergyModelsBase.Linear — TypeLinear Formulation, that is input equals output.
Functions for accessing fields of Link types
The following functions are declared for accessing fields from a Link type.
If you want to introduce new Link types, it is important that the function formulation is either functional for your new types or you have to declare a corresponding function. The first approach can be achieved through using the same name for the respective fields.
EnergyModelsBase.formulation — Functionformulation(l::Link)Return the formulation of a Link l.
