DistAIX is a simulator for cyber-physical power systems that makes use of high performance computing techniques to scale up the simulation.
An agent-based modeling and simulation approach is applied to model the behavior of the electrical system as well as distributed control and decision-making processes.
Communication between participants of the system (agents) is also modeled and simulated.

DistAIX uses the framework [RepastHPC](https://github.com/Repast/repast.hpc) as basis for scalable agent-based modeling and simulation based on the Message Passing Interface (MPI).
It relies on [Cassandra](http://cassandra.apache.org/), [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) and [Google Protocol Buffers](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/) for a scalable management of simulation results.

## The following documentation is available for DistAIX:
- [Repository structure](doc/repo.md)
- [System preparation](doc/preparation.md)
- [Installation guide](doc/install.md)
- [Configuration parameters](doc/config.md)
- [Scenario files](doc/scenarios.md)
- [Execution guide](doc/exec.md)

# Further software related to DistAIX

## DistAIX Scenario Generator

The DistAIX Scenario Generator is a Python tool to generate scenarios in the format of the DistAIX simulator.
The tool is capable of creating new electrical grids / scenarios based on existing grids as well as from scratch.
Custom topologies (networks of Slack/Trafo/Nodes) can be created and assembled with different types of consumers and producers (Load/CHP/EV/Wind...).

The source code and documentation can be obtained here:
[https://git.rwth-aachen.de/acs/public/simulation/DistAIXFramework/scenariogenerator](https://git.rwth-aachen.de/acs/public/simulation/DistAIXFramework/scenariogenerator)

## DistAIXweb

DistAIXweb is a web application that enables browsing, visualizing, and downloading of DistAIX simulation results stored in a database.
It consists of a frontend and a backend part.
The backend provides a REST-style interface with methods to view the metadata and get the results, which is used by the frontend to offer an easy way to access simulation results.
