agentlib_mpc

This is a plugin for AgentLib. Includes functions for modeling with CasADi, and using those models in nonlinear MPC, central and distributed (based on ADMM).

See examples and the tutorial in the docs. Best example to start is an MPC for a single air conditioned room.

Installation

Install with:

pip install agentlib_mpc

To install with full dependencies (recommended), run:

pip install agentlib_mpc[full]

Optional Dependencies

AgentLib_MPC has a number of optional dependencies:

• fmu: Support simulation of FMU models (https://fmi-standard.org/).
• ml: Use machine learning based NARX models for MPC. Currently supports neural networks, gaussian process regression and linear regression. Installs tensorflow, keras and scikit-learn.
• interactive: Utility functions for displaying mpc results in an interactive dashboard. Installs plotly and dash.

Install these like

pip install agentlib_mpc[ml]
