#reopt_json_from_feature_report(feature_report, reopt_assumptions_hash = nil, groundmount_photovoltaic = nil) ⇒ Object

Convert a FeatureReport into a REopt post

parameters:

  • feature_report - URBANopt::Reporting::DefaultReports::FeatureReport - FeatureReport to use in converting the optional reopt_assumptions_hash to a REopt post. If a reopt_assumptions_hash is not provided, a default post will be updated from this FeatureReport and submitted to the REopt API.

  • reopt_assumptions_hash - Hash - Optional. A hash formatted for submittal to the REopt API containing default values. Values will be overwritten from the FeatureReport where available (i.e. latitude, roof_squarefeet). Missing optional parameters will be filled in with default values by the API.

return:

Hash - Returns hash formatted for submittal to the REopt API

Update a FeatureReport from a REopt response

parameters:

  • feature_report - URBANopt::Reporting::DefaultReports::FeatureReport - FeatureReport to update from a REopt response hash.

  • reopt_output - Hash - A response hash from the REopt API to use in overwriting FeatureReport technology sizes, costs and dispatch strategies.

  • timeseries_csv_path - String - Optional. The path to a file at which a new timeseries CSV will be written. If not provided a file is created based on the run_uuid of the REopt optimization task.

return:

URBANopt::Reporting::DefaultReports::FeatureReport - Returns an updated FeatureReport.
