Method Detail

initialize

public String initialize(Competition competition,
                         List<String> completedInits)

Computes actual distribution and balancing costs by random selection

Specified by:

initialize in interface InitializationService

activate

public void activate(org.joda.time.Instant time,
                     int phaseNumber)

Description copied from class: TimeslotPhaseProcessor

This method gets called once during each timeslot. To get called, the module must first call the register(phaseNumber) method on CompetitionControl. The call will give the current simulation time and phase number in the arguments.

Specified by:

activate in class TimeslotPhaseProcessor

public double getBalancingCost()

Deprecated.

For backward-compatibility only - should not be called.

public double getPPlusPrime()
