mosaikdemod 0.1

Adaptor to use demod simulators in mosaik.

Demod mosaik adapter

This repository contains adapter classes for all demod classes into mosaik.

This works with mosaik versions 2 and 3.

demod

Demod is a Python library for assembling bottom-up domestic energy demand models.

mosaik

Mosaik’s main goal is to use existing simulators in a common context in order to perform a coordinated simulation of a given (Smart Grid) scenario.

Usage

demo.py show usage example inside a mosaik simulation script.

Adapting a new simulator

If you want to adapt a new demod simulator, you can follow this instruction.

1. Import the abstract adapter. If the demod simulator simulates various households, use the Household module. For a single value simulated (ex. climate), use The SingleValue module.

from mosaikdemod.adaptors import AbstractHouseholdsModule
from mosaikdemod.adaptors import AbstractSingleValueModule

2. import demod library

import demod

3. Inherit from the abstract module

class ComponentSimulator(AbstractHouseholdsModule):

4. Specify the attributes of the simulator that can be accessed

    attributes_dict = {
        'attr_name_in_mosaik': 'get_demod_getter',
        'other__attr': 'get_smth_else',
        ...
    }

5. Specify the inputs of the simulator that can be accessed

    step_inputs_dict = {
        'attr_name_in_mosaik': 'step_input_demod',
        'other_input': 'input_other',
        ...
    }

6. Override the __init__() method

    def __init__(
        self,
        simulated_component='CompName',  # Name of what is simulated used for mosaik instances
        default_simulator=demod.simulators.example_simulators.ExampleSimulator,  # The simulator class you want to simulate
        step_size=60  # The mosaik step size (depend on your definition)
    ):
        super().__init__(simulated_component, default_simulator, step_size)

7. Import your simulator to your mosaik scenario script.

# Define the Simulator
sim_config = {
    ...
    'CompNameSimulator': {
        'python': 'python_file_of_the_sim:ComponentSimulator',
    },
    ...
}

# Instantiate the simulator
sim = world.start('CompNameSimulator')


# Instantiate the households with parameters
component = actsim.HouseholdsGroupCompName(
    inputs_params={  # demod init params of sim
        'n_households': n_households,
        'start_datetime': START_DATETIME,
        ...
    }
)
# OR instantiate a  SingleValue simulator (remove HouseholdsGroup)
component = actsim.CompName(
    inputs_params={  # demod init params of sim
        'start_datetime': START_DATETIME,
        ...
    }
)

8. Connect the simulators. You can connect a whole household group to another one if you use 2 demod components. Or you can also connect all the households individually by calling the children method

# Connect 2 demod components
# comp1 passes attr to comp2
world.connect(component1, component2, 'attr_name_in_mosaik')

# Connect 2 demod components with single value
# component_single_value passes attr to comp2
world.connect(component_single_value, component2, 'attr_name_in_mosaik')

# Connect a single household using the children
world.connect(component.children[42], other_mosaik_comp, 'attr_name_in_mosaik')
