History

0.3.1 (2022-11-03)

• Features

  • New building distributions:

    • Building Distribution C: varies battery and solar installation size.

    • Building Distribution D: varies battery, solar installation and load consumption size/scale.

    • Building distribution E: varies same as above, and adds irreducible noise to load and solar traces.

• Environment & distribution changes (! indicates that the change may affect experimental results)

  • ! Parameter default of grid_peak_threshold changed from 4.0kW to 2.0kW in all environments, including those of building distribution B.

  • The load and solar traces in HouseEnv now can be augmented with irreducible noise. This is set via the solar/load_noise_magnitude parameter of the EnvConfig.

• Improvements

  • Update to docs on distributions, wrappers and more.

0.3.0 (2022-10-26)

• Features

  • Add experiment script

  • Add extensive evaluation features

  • Add support for much slower speed in game widget

  • Add benchmarks

  • Add support for setting tasks in environment

  • Add wrappers:

    • that add task parameters to observation space.

    • that clip the reward

    • that clip the action space

    • that normalise observation space

• Improvements

  • Add clock and day to game widget

  • Design improvements for game widget

  • Action spaces dtype can now be set in env cfg

0.2.1 (2022-09-12)

• Features

  • Add time_of_day variable to observation space.

• Improvements

  • The solve function is now directly imported with bauwerk, to simplify usage.

  • Additional sections added to documentation.

  • Add more grid parameters to SolarBatteryHouseEnv configuration.

• Fixes:

  • Ensure solver outputs actions that are valid in environment (i.e. normalised)

0.2.0 (2022-09-09)

• Features:

  • Add game widget based on SolarBatteryHouseEnv.

    • Includes browser-based version of Bauwerk game that can be played by anybody without installing anything.

  • Add support for selling to the grid in SolarBatteryHouseEnv.

• Improvements:

  • Add explicit CVXPY-based solver in bauwerk.envs.solvers for SolarBatteryHouseEnv that was missing earlier.

  • Update SolarBatteryHouseEnv to comply with new gym step API by returning truncated value.

  • Add automatic github-actions-based testing of package.

0.1.0 (2022-08-12)

• First release on PyPI.

• Features:

  • SolarBatteryHouseEnv: a simple environment representing a single family home with a solar photovoltaic installations and a home battery that can be controlled.

  • Optional integration with CVXPY to compute optimal actions in Bauwerk environments.
