Pre-release

This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.

gridappsd-field-bus

A distributed field bus communication framework for the GridAPPS-D platform. Provides hierarchical agent-based communication across power grid field devices, enabling decentralized control and context management at the substation, feeder, switch area, and secondary area levels.

Features

  • Message Bus Abstraction - Pluggable message bus architecture with support for STOMP, GridAPPS-D, and VOLTTRON connection types
  • Distributed Agents - Hierarchical agent framework (SubstationAgent, FeederAgent, SwitchAreaAgent, SecondaryAreaAgent) for multi-level grid communication
  • Context Management - Topology-aware context managers that provide neighborhood information to distributed agents via CIM-Graph
  • Field Proxy Forwarding - Bridges field device buses to the operational technology (OT) bus when direct connections are unavailable
  • Protocol Support - Extensible protocol transformers for IEEE 2030.5 and DNP3 field protocols

Installation

pip install gridappsd-field-bus

Requirements

CLI Commands

Start the field proxy forwarder:

start-field-bus-forwarder --username app_user --password 1234App

Start centralized context managers:

context_manager --feeder_id <feeder_mrid> --simulation_id <sim_id>

Documentation

See the main GridAPPS-D Python repository for full documentation.
