Create an OpenDSS Electrical Network, which represents all electrical infrastructure for an OpenDSS simulation.
This includes a substation, transformers, and all electrical connectors needed to connect these objects to Dragonfly Buildings.
substation [Required]
A Substation object representing the electrical substation supplying the network with electricity.
transformers [Required]
An array of Transformer objects that are included within the electrical network. Generally, there should always be a transformer somewhere between the substation and a given building.
connectors [Required]
An array of ElectricalConnector objects that are included within the electrical network. In order for a given connector to be valid within the network, each end of the connector must touch either another connector, a transformer/substation or a Dragonfly Building footprint. In order for the network as a whole to be valid, all Buildings and Transformers must be connected back to the Substation via connectors.
name
Text to be used for the name and identifier of the Electrical Newtork. If no name is provided, it will be "unnamed".
report
Reports, errors, warnings, etc.
network
A Dragonfly Electrical Newtork object possessing all electrical infrastructure for an OpenDSS simulation. This should be connected to the network_ input of the "DF Model to GeoJSON" component.
