Key Concepts

Hercules is a modular simulation framework for hybrid plants.

Core Components

H_Dict

The central data structure that contains all simulation parameters, component configurations, and runtime state. The h_dict serves as both the configuration interface and the runtime state container.

Hybrid Plant Components

Manages individual components like wind farms, solar panels, batteries, and electrolyzers.

Emulator

The central orchestrator that drives the simulation forward step-by-step. The emulator manages the main execution loop, coordinates between components, and handles output generation.
