Framework for Multi-commodity Energy Management in intelligent buildings. Copyright © 2020
Organic Smart Home (OSH) is a free and open source energy management framework, which optimizes the energy provision, distribution, storage, conversion, and utilization in intelligent buildings, such as smart buildings and smart homes.
This framework was developed in response to the challenge of balancing supply and demand in the electric grid in spite of volatile, widely uncontrollable electrical power generation by means of renewable energy sources.
The building energy management system is based on the Extended Observer/Controller (O/C) architecture, which has been developed within the German priority research program on Organic Computing (DFG-Schwerpunktprogramm 1183).
It aims at realizing a mostly self-organizing and automated energy management system, reducing the need for interaction between the users (e.g., occupants) and the building's devices and systems (e.g., appliances, distributed generation, and building energy management system). However, the system still allows for explicit interference--if desired--and the users always remain in the loop.
- Java 12+
- Gradle 6.1
- osh_sim_builder : OSH tools for the generation of XML configuration files (simulation mode)
constructSimulationPackage
: OSH configuration file generator- Output : OSH configuration files in osh_sim_builder/configfiles/simulationPackages/[timestamp] (has to be copied to osh_sim_loader/configfiles/osh/)
- osh_sim_loader : OSH in simulation mode
runSimulationPackage
: OSH simulation launcher (simulation mode)- Input : OSH configuration files in osh_sim_loader/configfiles/osh/[name]
- osh_core : core components of the OSH (e.g. generic components of the Observer/Controller architecture, Communication Registries, Energy Simulation Core)
- osh_ems_ea : components of the optimization layer (partly based on jMetal 4.5)
- osh_busdriver* : bus drivers (Miele XGW2000 gateway, BacNet, EnOcean, WAGO 750-820*)
- osh_comdriver* : communication drivers (user interaction, logging, REST service, external signals, weather prediction)
- osh_driver* : device drivers (home appliances, baseload, battery storage, microCHP, HVAC, PV system, smart meter)
- Check out
- Run
./gradlew build
- runSingleHH runs the simulation with the currently defined configuration files in
osh.runsimulation.runSimulationPackage
- jarForRunSingleHH creates an executable jar that runs the simulation in the currently defined configuration. The output directory will be [projectRoot]/out/runSingleHH and all configfiles from osh_sim_loader will be copied to this directory
- constructSingleHHConfig constructs simulation configuration profiles with the current settings in
constructsimulation.constructSimulationPackage
and saves them in a folder under osh_sim_builder/configfiles[timestamp]- to run the simulation with this configuration copy the created files to osh_sim_loader/configfiles/osh and edit
the
configID
property inosh.runsimulation.runSimulationPackage
- to run the simulation with this configuration copy the created files to osh_sim_loader/configfiles/osh and edit
the
- construct[type]ApplianceProfiles creates the appliance profiles of the specific device as defined in the
generation classes at osh_driver_appliance/src_toolbox
- replace the existing appliance profiles in osh_sim_loader/configfiles/[type] if you want to run the simulation with the newly created profiles
- constructGridConfiguration creates a new energy grid profile as defined in
osh.esc.instances.GridInstance
- to use the newly created grid profiles copy them to osh_sim_loader/configfiles/grids
- generateXSDClasses generates java classes from the xsd-schema we use for configuration files
