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
- Python >= 3.10
- gridappsd-python
- cim-graph
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>
