As the Digitalized Energy Systems Working Group, we are involved in the further development of several research software projects, including in close collaboration with OFFIS – Institute for Computer Science.

mango

The mango framework enables the simple creation of agent-based simulations and applications, primarily for scientific purposes. The framework emphasises accessibility and modularity in order to meet the growing demand for high-quality research software.

mosaik

The mosaik co-simulation framework enables the reuse and combination of existing simulation models and simulators to create large-scale smart grid scenarios, e.g. with thousands of simulated entities distributed across multiple simulator processes. These scenarios can serve as a test environment for various types of control strategies (e.g. multi-agent systems (MAS) or centralised control).

Mosaik is written in Python and is entirely open source (LGPL), including some simple simulators and an interface to network calculation tools such as pandapower.

SMECS

SMECS facilitates the extraction of research software metadata from GitHub and GitLab repositories. It offers a user-friendly graphical interface for visualising the retrieved metadata and enables researchers and research software developers to create high-quality metadata without having to re-enter information that is already available elsewhere.

Further software

Our other research software projects can be found on GitHub and GitLab.
