Transactive Energy Simulation Platform (TESP)

License: https://github.com/pnnl/tesp/blob/main/LICENSE

TESP provides a set of simulation tools and example implementations of transactive systems to provide a means of more easily developing and evaluating transactive systems. TESP utilizes the HELICS co-simulation framework to enable coordination between a number of simulation tools: GridLAB-D, EnergyPlus v9.3, AMES/PSST, PYPOWER and ns-3 (optimized build with logging enabled). TESP comes with several test cases, including the NIST TE Challenge 2, the SGIP use case 1, and an 8-bus test system for ERCOT. There are examples of the double-auction real-time market in real-time and day-ahead modes, and a transactive consensus mechanism for large buildings. The intended use case for TESP is to focus on the development and testing of transactive control agents, without having to build up a large system simulation infrastructure. There are sample agents provided in Python 3.6+, Java 11+, and C/C++.

TESP runs natively on Linux and can be installed by following a simple process detailed in the documentation. The rest of the documentation can be found at TESP's ReadTheDocs site.
