Hello,
I wrote a piecewise object for oemof and I recognised some performance problems. The computer can solve this model really fast, but the result processing takes forever (multiple days). I saw that my piecewise object creates lots of indexed variables, which seems ok, but I think this is the reason why the processing takes so long.
Does anyone know how to speed up the processing?
This codesegment is way to slow for my model:
var_dict = {(str(bv).split('.')[0], str(bv).split('.')[-1], i): bv[i].value
for bv in block_vars for i in getattr(bv, '_index')}
This is the piecewise object:

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.slack=kwargs.get('slack', False)
self.p_max = kwargs.get('p_max', 1000)
self.p_min = kwargs.get('p_min', -1000)

expr += (self.pressure[list(n.outputs.keys())[0],t]-self.pressure[list(n.inputs.keys())[0],t])
expr += self.delta_pressure[n,t]
return expr == 0
self.flow_eq_pressure = Constraint(self.GASLINE_PL, m.TIMESTEPS, rule=flow_eq_pressure)
def energy_flow_out(block, n, t):

return expr == 0
self.energy_flow_in = Constraint(self.GASLINE_PL, m.TIMESTEPS, rule=energy_flow_in)
class GasLine(Transformer):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.conv_factor = kwargs.get('conv_factor', 1)
self.K_1=kwargs.get('K_1')
self.input_list = list(kwargs.get('input_list', []))
self.output_list = list(kwargs.get('output_list', []))
if len(self.inputs) > 1 or len(self.outputs) > 1:
raise ValueError("Component GasLine must not have more than \
one input and one output!")
def constraint_group(self):
return GasLineBlock
If anyone has an idea how to speed things up I would be very thankfull.
Best, Philipp
