Component Operations
Functions for creating and managing network components (buses, generators, loads, etc.).
create_component
python
create_component((conn: sqlite3.Connection, component_type: str, name: str, description: Optional[str] = None, longitude: Optional[float] = None, latitude: Optional[float] = None, carrier_id: Optional[int] = None, bus_id: Optional[int] = None, bus0_id: Optional[int] = None, bus1_id: Optional[int] = None) -> int)Create a component and return its ID - convenience function (single network per database).
Parameters:
conn: Database connectioncomponent_type: Type of component (e.g., "BUS", "GENERATOR")name: Component namedescription: Optional descriptionlongitude: Optional longitude coordinatelatitude: Optional latitude coordinatecarrier_id: Optional carrier IDbus_id: Optional bus ID (for single-bus components)bus0_id: Optional first bus ID (for two-bus components)bus1_id: Optional second bus ID (for two-bus components)
Returns:
ID of the newly created component
get_component
python
get_component((conn: sqlite3.Connection, component_id: int) -> pyconvexity.core.types.Component)Get component by ID (single network per database).
Parameters:
conn: Database connectioncomponent_id: ID of the component
Returns:
Component object with all fields populated
Raises:
ComponentNotFound: If component doesn't exist
update_component
python
update_component((conn: sqlite3.Connection, component_id: int, name: Optional[str] = None, description: Optional[str] = None, longitude: Optional[float] = None, latitude: Optional[float] = None, carrier_id: Optional[int] = None, bus_id: Optional[int] = None, bus0_id: Optional[int] = None, bus1_id: Optional[int] = None) -> None)Update a component.
Parameters:
conn: Database connectioncomponent_id: ID of component to updatename: New name (optional)description: New description (optional)longitude: New longitude (optional)latitude: New latitude (optional)carrier_id: New carrier ID (optional)bus_id: New bus ID (optional)bus0_id: New first bus ID (optional)bus1_id: New second bus ID (optional)
Raises:
ComponentNotFound: If component doesn't exist
delete_component
python
delete_component((conn: sqlite3.Connection, component_id: int) -> None)Delete a component and all its attributes.
Parameters:
conn: Database connectioncomponent_id: ID of component to delete
Raises:
ComponentNotFound: If component doesn't exist
list_components_by_type
python
list_components_by_type((conn: sqlite3.Connection, component_type: Optional[str] = None) -> List[pyconvexity.core.types.Component])List components by type (single network per database).
Parameters:
conn: Database connectioncomponent_type: Optional component type filter (e.g., "BUS", "GENERATOR")
Returns:
List of Component objects
