V2Sim-UX: An Open-Source Mesoscopic V2G Simulation Platform in Urban Power and Transportation Network

V2Sim Family

Open-Source V2G Simulation Platform in Urban Power and Transportation Network

Documents: https://hesl-seu.github.io/v2sim-wiki

V2Sim family includes several open-source software for coupled urban power and transportation network. They are different in the transportation simulation part.

• V2Sim: Use SUMO for MICROSCOPIC traffic simulation. It could identify the microscopic motion of a single vehicle, including its lane, speed, accerlation, etc. This version is suitable if your research concerns the implication of delicate motion of EVs on power grid. (Link: V2Sim)

• V2Sim-UX: Use UXsim for MESOCOPIC traffic simulation. It runs much faster than the microscopic version, and can be accelerated furthermore with free-threading Python (3.14+). This version is suitable if your research need fast iterations and focus on the overall implication of the traffic flow. (Please scroll down to read instructions.)
