I'm a little confused by this description. Is it saying that inside 'prototypes' for example has a dictionary inside it called 'val' which is a list? Or is it saying inside 'prototypes' there's a list called 'val'.

And, if there's only one thing inside 'prototypes', what's the logic for having another level?

The format of the dictionary is: {'DeployInt':{'prototypes':{'val':[]}, 'n_build':{'val':[]}, 'buildtimes':{'val':[]}, 'lifetimes':{'val':[]}} and this structure is because of the xml structure for the DeployInst:
<DeployInst> <prototypes> <val>str</val> <val>str</val> .... </prototypes> ... </DeployInst

Ok! I was a little confused there, but that makes sense

Ok, everything looks good to me! I'll merge if it's all set |
I have updated the functions in
scripts/create_AR_DeployInst.pyto redeploy advanced reactors on a 1:1 basis. This is done by looking at the defined deployments at timestepcurrent-lifetime of reactor. Then the number of reactors to redeploy is calculated by rounding up on the demand of energy at the current timestep divided by the energy output of the reactor in question. It is not a direct replacement of the same number of reactors to reduce any oversupply of power that may be caused.Example:
4 of Type1 reactors are deployed at time 3, with a lifetime of 5 timesteps. They supply 100 MW for a total power supply of 500 MW against a demand of 480 MWe.
At timestep 8, a total of 410 MW are already deployed so only 3 Type1 reactors need to be deployed to meet the demand of 480 MW.
I have updated the tests for this module (
scripts/tests/test_create_AR_DeployInst.py), and all tests pass.
