Microgrid Resilient Control System

An intelligent, user-friendly software platform that acts as the "brain" of a localized microgrid. This software ensures resilience during outages through an automated, seamless transition to off-grid power and maximizes efficiency by intelligently managing energy sources.


Features

  • Automated Outage Management: Detects grid failures and seamlessly transitions to island mode.
  • Intelligent Optimization: Manages power based on simulated costs and demand.
  • Real-time Monitoring: Provides a live view of the microgrid's status.

Getting Started

This is a conceptual blueprint. To run the simulated version, follow these steps.

  1. Clone the repository:
    git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/microgrid-control.git
  2. Navigate to the project directory:
    cd microgrid-control
  3. Run the main script:
    python main.py

Project Status

This project is currently a conceptual blueprint. The core logic for a seamless grid transition is fully defined and simulated. However, the following modules are currently placeholders for future development:

  • api/: The RESTful API for remote monitoring and control.
  • data/: The database integration for storing and analyzing real-time data.
  • hardware/drivers/: The real-world drivers that would replace the simulated HardwareInterface.
  • tests/: The suite of unit and integration tests for a production-ready application.

These modules represent the next steps in development to turn this conceptual model into a fully robust and functional application.
