Release notes

Version 0.1.0 (2026-05-28)

Added WindFarmParameters

• Introduces WindFarmParameters more in line with PVParameters and also made the corresponding nodes more consistent.

Add Building node

• Added a Building node to the package, which provides sampling routines for building heat demand profiles based on temperature data. A function heat_demand_profile is included to generate the heat demand profile from temperature data downloaded using hindcast data. A function get_met_data is included to handle data retrieval, caching, and storage (using the python metocean_api library) for the meteorological data used in the heat_demand_profile function. This function enables implementation of meteorological data dependent nodes.

Add PV node

• Added a PV node to the package, which provides sampling routines for photovoltaic power generation which is more in line with the WindPower node requiring lat-lon coordinates.

Initial version of the package

• Provide sampling routines for C++ and Python for incorporation into EnergyModelsX models.
• Utilize the sampling routines for sampling from:
  • C++: BioCHP node.
  • Python: MultipleBuildingTypes, CSPandPV, and WindPower nodes.
• Incorporation of a BioResource for BiOCHP plant.
• Individual nodes to be moved after registration.
