Upload a load profile to the platform

[MidrarAdham]

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to upload a load profile containing Watts values to the platform so it can be read by the EnergyConsumers later instead of the ieeezipload.glm. Is there a way to do this?

Thank you

Yes, you can upload a custom load profile.

Assuming you have a load profile file in this format https://github.com/GRIDAPPSD/gridappsd-data/blob/master/timeseries/loadprofiles/ieeezipload.player, you can follow the steps mentioned here: https://github.com/GRIDAPPSD/gridappsd-data/tree/master/timeseries/loadprofiles to upload them to the timeseries data store which can then be used by the simulation.

The instructions are written for someone familiar with GridAPPS-D docker containers and InfluxDB. Let me know if you need more details with them.

I will. Thank you, Poorva!

Hello Poorva,

I ran the simulation, and it looks like the old ieeezipload.glm is generated again.

Here are the steps I followed to generate the new load profile:

• I loaded the influxdb container.

• I adjusted the ieeezipload.player file as in the above repo link.

  • I also tried different branches (master, develop, release/2023.05.0, and upload_update)

• I executed the loadprofile_measurement_bulk.py, which generated loadprofile_measurement_out.txt.

  • I checked the generated file, and the values match the input file.

• I executed the docker cp loadprofile_measurement_out.txt influxdb:/ , which generated the following output:

  • Successfully copied 17.9MB to influxdb:/
  • I also checked the influxdb container and can see the file in the container's home directory.

• I executed the influx -import -path=loadprofile_measurement_out.txt -precision s, which generated the following output:

• I also tried uploading the file to the /tmp/ folder in the influxdb container, but still the older version of ieeezipload.player gets generated during the simulation.

Thank you

Hi Poorva,

I got it resolved. I'm going to post the solution here for people who may encounter the same issue.

What caused the issue before is that I changed the seed_epoch_date value in the loadprofile_measurement_bulk.py. Once I put it back as it was, the ieeezipload.player within the gridappsd container is updated correctly.

original value: seed_epoch_date = 1514764800

Here is the commands sequence I used:

• Clone the repo in Poorva's post above

• load the influxdb container.

• update the ieeezipload.player.

• Execute docker cp loadprofile_measurement_out.txt influxdb:/

• Execute docker exec -t influxdb influx -import -path=loadprofile_measurement_out.txt -precision s

• Then run the list_measurement and insert_measurement scripts to the desired feeder model.

Thank you for the help, Poorva!
