Port

(class from pyomo.network.port)

class pyomo.network.port.Port(*args, **kwds)[source]

Bases: IndexedComponent

A collection of variables, which may be connected to other ports

The idea behind Ports is to create a bundle of variables that can be manipulated together by connecting them to other ports via Arcs. A preprocess transformation will look for Arcs and expand them into a series of constraints that involve the original variables contained within the Port. The way these constraints are built can be specified for each Port member when adding members to the port, but by default the Port members will be equated to each other. Additionally, other objects such as expressions can be added to Ports as long as they, or their indexed members, can be manipulated within constraint expressions.

Parameters:
  • rule (function) – A function that returns a dict of (name: var) pairs to be initially added to the Port. Instead of var it could also be a tuples of (var, rule). Or it could return an iterable of either vars or tuples of (var, rule) for implied names.

  • initialize – Follows same specifications as rule’s return value, gets initially added to the Port

  • implicit – An iterable of names to be initially added to the Port as implicit vars

  • extends (Port) – A Port whose vars will be added to this Port upon construction

static Equality(port, name, index_set)[source]

Arc Expansion procedure to generate simple equality constraints

static Extensive(port, name, index_set, include_splitfrac=None, write_var_sum=True)[source]

Arc Expansion procedure for extensive variable properties

This procedure is the rule to use when variable quantities should be conserved; that is, split for outlets and combined for inlets.

This will first go through every destination of the port (i.e., arcs whose source is this Port) and create a new variable on the arc’s expanded block of the same index as the current variable being processed to store the amount of the variable that flows over the arc. For ports that have multiple outgoing arcs, this procedure will create a single splitfrac variable on the arc’s expanded block as well. Then it will generate constraints for the new variable that relate it to the port member variable using the split fraction, ensuring that all extensive variables in the Port are split using the same ratio. The generation of the split fraction variable and constraint can be suppressed by setting the include_splitfrac argument to False.

Once all arc-specific variables are created, this procedure will create the “balancing constraint” that ensures that the sum of all the new variables equals the original port member variable. This constraint can be suppressed by setting the write_var_sum argument to False; in which case, a single constraint will be written that states the sum of the split fractions equals 1.

Finally, this procedure will go through every source for this port and create a new arc variable (unless it already exists), before generating the balancing constraint that ensures the sum of all the incoming new arc variables equals the original port variable.

Model simplifications:

If the port has a 1-to-1 connection on either side, it will not create the new variables and instead write a simple equality constraint for that side.

If the outlet side is not 1-to-1 but there is only one outlet, it will not create a splitfrac variable or write the split constraint, but it will still write the outsum constraint which will be a simple equality.

If the port only contains a single Extensive variable, the splitfrac variables and the splitting constraints will be skipped since they will be unnecessary. However, they can be still be included by passing include_splitfrac=True.

Note

If split fractions are skipped, the write_var_sum=False option is not allowed.

clear()

Clear the data in this component

clear_suffix_value(suffix_or_name, expand=True)

Clear the suffix value for this component data

cname(*args, **kwds)

DEPRECATED.

Deprecated since version 5.0: The cname() method has been renamed to getname(). The preferred method of obtaining a component name is to use the .name property, which returns the fully qualified component name. The .local_name property will return the component name only within the context of the immediate parent container.

Return an iterator of (index,data) component data tuples

Parameters:
  • sort (bool or SortComponents) – Iterate over the declared component items in a specified sorted order. See SortComponents for valid options and descriptions.

  • ordered (bool) – DEPRECATED: Please use sort=SortComponents.ORDERED_INDICES. If True, then the items are returned in a deterministic order (using the underlying set’s ordered_iter().

iteritems()

DEPRECATED.

Return a list (index,data) tuples from the dictionary

Deprecated since version 6.0: The iteritems method is deprecated. Use dict.items().

DEPRECATED.

Return a list of keys in the dictionary

Deprecated since version 6.0: The iterkeys method is deprecated. Use dict.keys().

This method sets the ordering of component data objects within this IndexedComponent container. For consistency, __init__(), values(), and items() all leverage this method to ensure consistent ordering.

Parameters:
  • sort (bool or SortComponents) – Iterate over the declared component keys in a specified sorted order. See SortComponents for valid options and descriptions.

  • ordered (bool) – DEPRECATED: Please use sort=SortComponents.ORDERED_INDICES. If True, then the keys are returned in a deterministic order (using the underlying set’s ordered_iter()).

parent_component()

Returns the component associated with this object.

pprint(ostream=None, verbose=False, prefix='')

reconstruct(data=None)

REMOVED: reconstruct() was removed in Pyomo 6.0.

Re-constructing model components was fragile and did not correctly update instances of the component used in other components or contexts (this was particularly problemmatic for Var, Param, and Set). Users who wish to reproduce the old behavior of reconstruct(), are comfortable manipulating non-public interfaces, and who take the time to verify that the correct thing happens to their model can approximate the old behavior of reconstruct with:

component.clear() component._constructed = False component.construct()

root_block()

Return self.model()

set_suffix_value(suffix_or_name, value, expand=True)

Set the suffix value for this component data

set_value(value)

Set the value of a scalar component.

to_dense_data()

TODO

type()

DEPRECATED.

Return the class type for this component

Deprecated since version 5.7: Component.type() method has been replaced by the .ctype property.

valid_model_component()

Return True if this can be used as a model component.

Return an iterator of the component data objects

Parameters:
  • sort (bool or SortComponents) – Iterate over the declared component values in a specified sorted order. See SortComponents for valid options and descriptions.
