EW Solar Simulator

Overview

Consists of 2 services:

1. Simulation
2. Consumer

$3

This is a service that simulates API for getting energy data. Based on device configuration it returns mock data for solar devices, based on real data for whole year in 15-mins intervals. Simulation service exposes it's API for HTTP requests that Consumer service is using.

Run:
``
yarn start-simulation
`

or from the root of monorepo:

`
yarn run:simulator:server
`

$3

Queries Simulation service for energy data for configured devices, and if it sees that there are new energy entries, it writes them to Origin blockchain smart-contracts as smart meter reads.

Run:
`
yarn start-consuming-api
`

or from the root of monorepo:

`
yarn run:simulator:consumer
`

Configuration

To run simulator and consumer services you need to deploy Origin first.

$3

Edit .env in the root of the monorepo and configure:
- ENERGY_API_BASE_URL - the address on which simulation server is running, by default locally it's http://localhost:3032, in Docker it's http://simulation:3032

$3

Edit device configuration in config/config.json. Properties:
- maxCapacity - maximum device capacity in Wh
- smartMeterPrivateKey - private key of a smart meter device to save reads on-chain

Place example energy generation data in config/data.csv in the following format:

`
Time,E/Cap ratio (kWh/kW),5 MW example (kWh)
01.01.2015 00:00,0,0.00
01.01.2015 00:15,0,0.00
01.01.2015 07:45,0.000664,3.32
`

$3

I-REC lists all public registered devices in https://registry.irecservices.com/Public/ReportDevices/ where you can filter and download public devices as CSV file.

We have created 2 scripts to allow easy import of those devices.

#### import-irec-devices script

`
Usage: yarn import-irec-devices -- [options]

Options:
-i, --input input I-REC csv file
-o, --owner
