Dispatch Highlevel Interface

Introduction

A highlevel interface for the dispatch API. The interface is made of the dispatch actor which should run once per microgrid. It provides two channels for clients:

• "new_dispatches" for newly created dispatches
• "ready_dispatches" for dispatches that are ready to be executed

Example Usage

async def run():
    # dispatch helper sends out dispatches when they are due
    dispatch_arrived = dispatch_helper.new_dispatches().new_receiver()
    dispatch_ready = dispatch_helper.ready_dispatches().new_receiver()

    async for selected in select(dispatch_ready, dispatch_arrived):
        if selected_from(selected, dispatch_arrived):
            dispatch = selected.value
            match dispatch.type:
                case DISPATCH_TYPE_BATTERY_CHARGE:
                    battery_pool = microgrid.battery_pool(dispatch.battery_set, task_id)
                    battery_pool.set_charge(dispatch.power)
            ...
        if selected_from(selected, dispatch_ready):
            dispatch = selected.value
            log.info("New dispatch arrived %s", dispatch)
