Detailed Description

A plugin for simulating battery usage.

This system processes the following sdf parameters:

<battery_name> name of the battery (required)
<voltage> Initial voltage of the battery (required)
<open_circuit_voltage_constant_coef> Voltage at full charge
<open_circuit_voltage_linear_coef> Amount of voltage decrease when no charge
<initial_charge> Initial charge of the battery (Ah)
<capacity> Total charge that the battery can hold (Ah)
<resistance> Internal resistance (Ohm)
<smooth_current_tau> coefficient for smoothing current [0, 1].
<power_load> power load on battery (required) (Watts)
<enable_recharge> If true, the battery can be recharged
<recharge_by_topic> If true, the start/stop signals for recharging the battery will also be available via topics. The regular Ignition services will still be available.
<charging_time> Hours taken to fully charge the battery. (Required if <enable_recharge> is set to true)
<fix_issue_225> True to change the battery behavior to fix some issues described in https://github.com/ignitionrobotics/ign-gazebo/issues/225.
<power_draining_topic> A topic that is used to start battery discharge. Any message on the specified topic will cause the batter to start draining. This element can be specified multiple times if multiple topics should be monitored. Note that this mechanism will start the battery draining, and once started will keep drainig.
