The California Load Flexibility Research and Development Hub (CalFlexHub) is the innovation hub supporting the scaled adoption of affordable, equitable, and reliable load flexible technologies. CalFlexHub seeks to advance the capability of smart building technologies to provide flexible energy load for the State of California and beyond. More information can be found here.
CalFlexHub has made a set of fictitious, prototype research price profiles available through the CEC's Market Informed Demand Automation Server (MIDAS). To support affiliates, a jupyter notebook showing how to receive prices (ReceivingPrices-midas.ipynb) has been provided. The steps to receive prices from MIDAS are as follows:
- To clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/LBNL-ETA/CalFlexHub.git
-
This repository contains code written in Python3 and Jupyter notebooks. While Python3 and Jupyter notebook interactive environment can be installed separately, we recommend setting them up using the anaconda platform.
-
Once they have been install, install dependencies using the provided
requirements.txtfile andpip:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- To use the Price Reception Tool, navigate to the corresponding folder:
cd CalFlexHub_Price_Reception_Tool
- Users must set up credentials to use MIDAS. This can be accomplished using the file registration-midas.ipynb
- Code in this file is based on the Registration script in the MIDAS python repository
- This process should create a file named midas_config.yaml
- The file ReceivingPrices-midas.ipynb will use these credentials to pull prices from MIDAS.
- Partner's can copy and integrate this code into their own existing solutions to create a 'price client'
