v1.0.0-rc900

Frequenz Python SDK Release Notes

Summary

This release mainly introduces a new feature that allows fallback components to be used in generated formulas, but it also fixes a few bugs and gets rid of betterproto/grpclib and goes back to Google's implementation.

Upgrading

• The frequenz-client-microgrid dependency was bumped to 0.5.0. This can cause dependency issues if you are using other API clients and the frequenz-client-base dependencies don't match.

New Features

• Fallback components are used in generated formulas. If primary components is unavailable, formula will generate metric from fallback components. Fallback formulas are implemented for:
  • PVPowerFormula
  • ProducerPowerFormula
  • BatteryPowerFormula
  • ConsumerPowerFormula
  • GridPowerFormula

Bug Fixes

• Allow setting api_power_request_timeout in microgrid.initialize().

• Fix an issue where in grid meters could be identified as {pv/ev/battery/chp} meters in some component graph configurations.
