Energy Flow¶

Generation → Distribution → Consumption
Storage integration
Priority allocation

Material Flow¶

Inputs → Transformation → Outputs
Waste handling
Recycling streams

Operational Scenarios¶

Normal Operations¶

How the system functions day-to-day

Daily Cycle: - Morning: ... - Midday: ... - Evening: ... - Night: ...

Seasonal Variations: - Summer: ... - Winter: ...

Startup/Shutdown¶

How the system begins and ends operations

Emergency Scenarios¶
