Installation

From PyPI

pip install MachSysS

From Source (Developers)

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/SINTEF/FEEMS.git
cd FEEMS

# Install with uv (recommended)
uv sync

# Or with pip
pip install -e machinery-system-structure/

Quick Start

Save a FEEMS System to Protobuf

from feems.system_model import ElectricPowerSystem
from MachSysS.convert_to_protobuf import convert_electric_system_to_protobuf_machinery_system

# Create or load a FEEMS system
system = ElectricPowerSystem(...)

# Convert to protobuf
system_pb = convert_electric_system_to_protobuf_machinery_system(system)

# Save to file
with open("system_config.pb", "wb") as f:
    f.write(system_pb.SerializeToString())

Load a System from Protobuf

from MachSysS.system_structure_pb2 import MachinerySystem
from MachSysS.convert_to_feems import convert_proto_propulsion_system_to_feems

# Load from file
with open("system_config.pb", "rb") as f:
    system_pb = MachinerySystem()
    system_pb.ParseFromString(f.read())

# Convert to FEEMS system
feems_system = convert_proto_propulsion_system_to_feems(system_pb)

# Use with FEEMS
feems_system.do_power_balance_calculation()

Save Simulation Results

from MachSysS.convert_feems_result_to_proto import convert_feems_result_to_proto

# Run simulation
result = system.get_fuel_energy_consumption_running_time()

# Convert results to protobuf
result_pb = convert_feems_result_to_proto(result, system)

# Save to file
with open("simulation_results.pb", "wb") as f:
    f.write(result_pb.SerializeToString())

Convert Results to Pandas DataFrames

from MachSysS.convert_proto_timeseries import convert_proto_power_timeseries_to_df

# Load results
from MachSysS.feems_result_pb2 import FeemsResult
with open("simulation_results.pb", "rb") as f:
    result_pb = FeemsResult()
    result_pb.ParseFromString(f.read())

# Convert to DataFrame
df = convert_proto_power_timeseries_to_df(result_pb.power_timeseries)

# Analyze with pandas
print(df.describe())
df.plot()

Protocol Buffer Schemas

System Structure (system_structure.proto)

Defines the complete machinery system configuration:

message MachinerySystem {
  string name = 1;
  repeated Component components = 2;
  repeated Connection connections = 3;
  repeated Switchboard switchboards = 4;
  repeated BusTieBreaker bus_tie_breakers = 5;
}

message Component {
  string id = 1;
  string name = 2;
  ComponentType type = 3;
  double rated_power_kw = 4;
  double rated_speed_rpm = 5;
  PerformanceCurve performance_curve = 6;
  // ...
}

Simulation Results (feems_result.proto)

Stores simulation outputs:

message FeemsResult {
  string system_id = 1;
  double duration_s = 2;
  FuelConsumption total_fuel_consumption = 3;
  Emissions total_emissions = 4;
  EnergyConsumption energy_consumption = 5;
  repeated ComponentResult component_results = 6;
  PowerTimeSeries power_timeseries = 7;
}

Time-Series Data (gymir_result.proto)

Alternative format for time-series results:

message PowerTimeSeries {
  repeated double timestamp_s = 1;
  map<string, PowerProfile> component_powers = 2;
}

message PowerProfile {
  repeated double power_kw = 1;
  repeated double efficiency = 2;
}

Conversion API

System Conversion

FEEMS → Protobuf

from MachSysS.convert_to_protobuf import (
    convert_electric_system_to_protobuf_machinery_system,
    convert_component_to_protobuf
)

# Convert complete system
system_pb = convert_electric_system_to_protobuf_machinery_system(feems_system)

# Convert individual component
component_pb = convert_component_to_protobuf(genset)

Protobuf → FEEMS

from MachSysS.convert_to_feems import (
    convert_proto_propulsion_system_to_feems,
    convert_proto_component_to_feems
)

# Convert complete system
feems_system = convert_proto_propulsion_system_to_feems(system_pb)

# Convert individual component
component = convert_proto_component_to_feems(component_pb)

Results Conversion

from MachSysS.convert_feems_result_to_proto import (
    convert_feems_result_to_proto,
    convert_fuel_consumption_to_proto,
    convert_emissions_to_proto
)

# Convert complete result
result_pb = convert_feems_result_to_proto(feems_result, system)

# Convert individual metrics
fuel_pb = convert_fuel_consumption_to_proto(fuel_consumption)
emissions_pb = convert_emissions_to_proto(emissions)

Time-Series Conversion

from MachSysS.convert_proto_timeseries import (
    convert_proto_power_timeseries_to_df,
    convert_df_to_proto_power_timeseries
)

# Protobuf → DataFrame
df = convert_proto_power_timeseries_to_df(power_timeseries_pb)

# DataFrame → Protobuf
power_timeseries_pb = convert_df_to_proto_power_timeseries(df)

Prerequisites

• Python ≥ 3.10
• Protocol Buffer compiler (protoc) for regenerating Python bindings

Regenerating Protobuf Files

When you modify .proto files:

cd machinery-system-structure
./compile_proto.sh

This script:

1. Compiles .proto files to Python
2. Generates type stubs (.pyi files)
3. Fixes imports for relative module references

Manual compilation:

cd machinery-system-structure
protoc -I=proto --python_out=MachSysS proto/*.proto --pyi_out=MachSysS

Running Tests

# All tests
uv run pytest machinery-system-structure/tests/

# Specific test file
uv run pytest machinery-system-structure/tests/test_convert_to_protobuf.py

# With coverage
uv run pytest --cov=MachSysS machinery-system-structure/tests/

Code Quality

# Linting
uv run ruff check machinery-system-structure/

# Formatting
uv run ruff format machinery-system-structure/

Requirements

• Python ≥ 3.10
• protobuf >= 5.29.6, < 6
• feems (for conversion utilities)
• pandas (for time-series conversion)

Related Packages
