Module contents

The simulate module defines the simulator which, given a grid model, some realized data, and a controller, evaluates the decisions of the controller on the realized data in the microgrid.

class microgrid.simulate.Simulator(grid, controller, database)

__init__(grid, controller, database)

Parameters:

• grid – A description of the grid as a Grid object
• controller – tool that decides, based on a forecast, a grid state and a model, which decisions to apply to the system now, until the next reoptimization
• database – (true) evolution of the exogeneous quantities over the simulation period

run(start_date, end_date, decision_horizon=1, optim_horizon=12)

Run the simulation.

Parameters:

• start_date – start period of the simulation
• end_date – end period of the simulation
• decision_horizon – resolution of the simulation, in hours
• optim_horizon – parameter passed to the controller in case the latter computes decisions over an optimization horizon longer than 1 period.

Returns:

class microgrid.simulate.GridState(grid, date_time)

__init__(grid, date_time)

Representation of the state of the system in the simulator. The state includes the state of charge of storage devices plus information regarding past operation of the system.

Parameters:

• grid – A Grid object
• date_time – The time at which the system in this state
