SimApi, a smartgrid co-simulation software platform for benchmarking building control algorithms

This paper describes an open source smart grid software infrastructure for co-simulation between cloud-based energy management systems and a building energy model. The core component of the infrastructure is an API, which provides a protocol abstraction as a decoupling mechanism between the control...
