[New Release] Announcing yards

[cas bex]

Dear all,

I'm excited to announce the release of yards (yet another residential district simulator — all lower case). This open source project is designed to make high-fidelity, Modelica-based energy systems models more accessible to the control community.

yards packages custom Modelica models into an interactive web-based simulator, making it easy to interface them with controllers in a variety of programming languages. Our core idea is the same as that of BOPTEST, but we target a different use case. Where BOPTEST is a curated set of benchmark models with global scoreboards to compare controllers, yards is intended for packaging custom, user-defined Modelica models and is aimed at small-scale projects.

Key features:

• Support for multiple Modelica compilers

• Cross-platform compatibility

• Fully open source

We invite you to explore yards and see how it can fit into your work: https://gitlab.kuleuven.be/positive-energy-districts/yards/
Check out our IBPSA webinar for more details and a practical example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gdibxDrtog&t=1546s

Looking forward to your feedback and contributions!

Hi Cas,

nice work, this looks like a very useful project!

I have a short question:

* You write that the API is BOPTEST compatible. Is it like local BOPTEST or like BOPTEST-Service (i.e. with a /select endpoints, and the test-id as path parameter to the other endpoints)?

The reason I'm asking is that I have a Julia package, BOPTestAPI.jl, where I recently deprecated the local BOPTEST API interactions. But it might make sense to keep it around for longer.

BR / Bertrand
