| Name | ID | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| htg_or_elec_in | str | Heating or electricity in as loads? {'heating_in', 'elec_in'}. (default: 'heating_in') | string |
| loads | loads | Loads in [kWh]. Either heating or electricity loads that need to be supplied. | float |
| eta | eta | Electric efficiency of CHP, i.e. from fuel into electricity [-] | float |
