def append_esc_conditions(esc,segment,energy_conditions):
"""
Initializes the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) condition containers for tracking
electrical state variables. Sets up basic input/output conditions and throttle settings
for ESC performance analysis.
Parameters
----------
esc : RCAIDE.Library.Components.Energy.Modulators.Electronic_Speed_Controller
The electronic speed controller component
- tag : str
Identifier for the ESC
segment : RCAIDE.Framework.Mission.Segments.Segment
The mission segment being analyzed
- state : State
Contains the flight condition state variables
- ones_row : function
Returns array of ones with specified size
propulsor_conditions : RCAIDE.Framework.Mission.Common.Conditions
Container for propulsor-specific conditions
Returns
-------
None
Notes
-----
Creates and initializes the following state variables:
- inputs : Conditions
Container for input electrical parameters
- outputs : Conditions
Container for output electrical parameters
- throttle : float
Power modulation setting from 0 to 1
