Frequenz Migrogrid API Release Notes

Summary

This release adds a breaking change to improve the DC data reporting
capabilities for inverters.

This release also adds non-breaking changes to extend the API to support more
sensor types, and to add support for adding bounds on AC reactive power.

Upgrading

• Updated inverters' DC links to support hybrid and solar inverters

  The Inverter message has been updated to support hybrid and solar inverters.
  The dc field has been renamed to dc_battery, and a new field dc_solar
  has been added.
  The dc_battery field is used to report the DC electricity flowing to/from
  the linked battery, and is applicable to battery and hybrid inverters.
  The dc_solar field is used to report the DC electricity flowing to/from the
  linked solar panels, and is applicable to solar and hybrid inverters.

New Features

• Added a general sensor type

  Some sensors can be a collection of several individual sensor modules. E.g.,
  a sensor can have pyranometer and anemometer sensor modules, and report both
  irradiance and wind velocity and direction. This new sensor type
  TYPE_GENERAL supports such cases.

• Added dew point to sensor metrics

  Dew point is the temperature to which air must be cooled to become saturated
  with water vapor. When further cooled, the airborne water vapor will condense
  to form liquid water (dew).
  This metric has now been added to the SensorMetric enum as
  SENSOR_METRIC_DEW_POINT.

• Added enum variant for setting bounds on AC reactive power
  This will allow clients to set bounds on a component's AC reactive power.
