cobre-core

Shared data model for the Cobre power systems ecosystem.

This crate defines the fundamental types used across all Cobre tools: buses, branches, generators (hydro, thermal, renewable), loads, network topology, and the top-level System struct. A power system described with cobre-core types can be used for stochastic optimization, steady-state analysis, and any other procedure in the ecosystem. The crate carries no solver or algorithm dependencies and enforces declaration-order invariance so that results are identical regardless of input ordering.

When to Use

Depend on cobre-core directly when you are building a new analysis tool or algorithm that needs to consume a validated power system description without pulling in solver or I/O logic. If you are writing test utilities or fixtures that construct small System instances, cobre-core is the only dependency you need.

Key Types

• System — Immutable, fully-validated power system description built by SystemBuilder
• SystemBuilder — Validates and assembles all entities into a System
• Hydro — Hydroelectric plant with storage, spillage, and productivity parameters
• Thermal — Thermal generation unit with cost segments and operational bounds
• Bus — Network bus carrying load, deficit penalties, and connected generators
• GenericConstraint — Linear constraint over named variables for custom coupling
