The OpenModelica Microgrid Gym (OMG) package is a software toolbox for the simulation and control optimization of microgrids based on energy conversion by power electronic converters.

The main characteristics of the toolbox are the plug-and-play grid design and simulation in OpenModelica as well as the ready-to-go approach of intuitive reinfrocement learning (RL) approaches through a Python interface.

The OMG toolbox is built upon the OpenAI Gym environment definition framework. Therefore, the toolbox is specifically designed for running reinforcement learning algorithms to train agents controlling power electronic converters in microgrids. Nevertheless, also arbritary classical control approaches can be combined and tested using the OMG interface.

Installation

Install Python environment

  • Install OpenModelica MicrogridGym from PyPI (recommended):

    $ pip install openmodelica_microgrid_gym
  • Or install from Github source:

    $ git clone https://github.com/upb-lea/openmodelica-microgrid-gym.git
    $ cd openmodelica_microgrid_gym
    $ python setup.py install

Hint: PyFMI might throw some errors while installing via pip. It can be installed via conda by running:

$ conda install -c conda-forge pyfmi

Installation of OpenModelica

OMG was create by using OMEdit v1.16

In this case, try to download the pre-built virtual machine.

Getting started

OMG uses the FMI standard for the exchange of the model between OpenModelica and python.

An example network consisting out of two inverters, three filters and an inductive load.

You can either use one of the provided FMUs (Windows and Linux, 64-bit, both included in the grid.network.fmu) or create your own by running:

openmodelica_microgrid_gym\fmu> omc create_fmu.mos

Running the staticctrl.py starts a simulation with a manually tuned cascaded PIPI controller

A save Bayesian approach of a reinforcement learning agent is provided under examples/berkamkamp.py.

Every user defined settings can be directly done in the example program.

env = gym.make(environment-id, **kwargs)

Returns an instantiated grid environment. Provide any additional settings right here (see full documentation for all possibilities)
