## Summary

<!-- Here goes a general summary of what this release is about -->
The most notable features for this release is the addition of the `PVPool` (exposed via `microgrid.pv_pool()`), which can be used to manage PV arrays as a single entity and the `EVChargerPool` (`microgrid.ev_charger_pool()`) learning to manage power for the whole pool (before it could only be used to control chargers individually).

Another notable change is the microgrid API client being moved to its own [repository](https://github.com/frequenz-floss/frequenz-client-microgrid-python/).

## Upgrading

- The `maxsize` parameter in calls to `BatteryPool.{soc/capacity/temperature}.new_receiver()` methods have now been renamed to `limit`, to be consistent with the channels repository.

- Support for per-component interaction in `EVChargerPool` has been removed.

- New `propose_power` and `power_status` methods have been added to the `EVChargerPool` similar to the `BatteryPool`. These method interface with the `PowerManager` and `PowerDistributor`, which currently uses a first-come-first-serve algorithm to distribute power to EVs.
- Support for per-component interaction in `EVChargerPool` has been removed. Please use the new `propose_power()` method to manage power for the whole pool. If you still need to manage power of chargers individually, you can create one pool per charger.

- PV Power is now available from `microgrid.pv_pool().power`, and no longer from `microgrid.logical_meter().pv_power`.
- PV power is now available from `microgrid.pv_pool().power`, and no longer from `microgrid.logical_meter().pv_power`.

## New Features

- Warning messages are logged when multiple instances of `*Pool`s are created for the same set of batteries, with the same priority values.
- `EVChargerPool`/`microgrid.ev_charger_pool()`: New `propose_power` and `power_status` methods have been added, similar to the `BatteryPool`. These method interface with the `PowerManager` and `PowerDistributor`, which currently uses a first-come-first-serve algorithm to distribute power to EVs.

- A PV Pool, with `propose_power`, `power_status` and `power` methods similar to Battery and EV Pools.
- A PV pool (`PVPool`/`microgrid.pv_pool()`) was added, with `propose_power`, `power_status` and `power` methods similar to Battery and EV pools.

## Enhancements

- Warning messages are logged when multiple instances of `*Pool`s are created for the same set of batteries, with the same priority values.
