...SolarNetwork is now expanding into a set of tools to not only collect and analyse information, but to also control and influence behaviour of a distributed network of nodes where energy is being generated and/or consumed. The name implies it is for solar generated energy only, the SolarNetwork can in fact be used with any form of distributed energy.

CITYOPT mission is to optimize energy systems in smart cities. The project will create a set of applications and related guidelines that support efficient planning, detailed design and operation of energy systems in urban districts.

RAPSim (Renewable Alternative Powersystems Simulation) is a free and open source micro-grid simulation framework for better understanding of power flowing behavior in smart microgrids with renewable sources. It is able to simulate grid-connected or standalone microgrids with solar, wind or other renewable energy sources. The proposed software calculates the power generated by each source in the microgrid and then it conducts a power flow analysis. This software is helpful for optimal placement of distributed generation units in a micro grid. RAPSim is designed for use in science and classroom with a simple to use graphical interface. It is an easily extendable framework that supports users in implementation of their own models, for grid objects, and algorithms for grid control.

The Gecko Hamaker open-source software project is a full implementation of the fully retarded Lifshitz formulations for isotropic and anisotropic plane-plane and cylinder-cylinder interactions with intervening interlayer materials, planar systems of up to 99 layers, and graded interfaces for the modeling of grain boundaries or other continuously changing systems, accompanied by a database of material optical properties spectra. The machine-readable optical property database is available...

For the purpose of policy simulation in coupled social-ecological systems (e.g. energy supply), a credible modelling of actors – especially citizens – and their decision processes is needed. This requires a framework capable of handling high numbers of heterogeneous agents (several hundreds of thousands). LARA (Lightweight Architecture for boundedly Rational Agents) meets these requirements and fills the gap between frameworks without built-in psychological foundations and full-fledged cognitive architectures which are both not viable options in this context. ...

The wholesale power market design proposed by the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in an April 2003 white paper [FERC 2003] encompasses the following core features: 1. Central management by an independent market operator. 2. A two-settlement system consisting of a day-ahead market supported by a parallel real-time market to ensure continual balancing of supply and demand for power. 3.

WEST (Wind Energy Simulation Toolkit) is a wind simulation application. It can be use to obtain high resolution results at various altitudes.

Energy-, mass- or money-flows are described with simular balances. Usually many upsetting tables are used to calculate the balance. The Software Flow visualizes the data in a grafic, zoomable and animated way.

Mircrogrid market is a proof-of-concept implementation of a combinatorial heat and power double auction exchange. With this platform energy consumers and producers can buy or sell heat and power resources on demand for certain times of the day.
