Workflow

  1. Simulation is started
  2. ResourceForecaster receives SimState message "running" from SimulationManager.
  3. ResourceForecaster responds to SimulationManager with Status message "ready".
  4. ResourceForecaster receives an Epoch message for a new epoch. The epoch number for the first epoch is 1.

  5. ResourceForecaster publishes ResourceForecast.Power message to ResourceForecastState topic. Real powers are selected from imported timeseries. Running epoch start time + variable 'forecast_horizon' determines how many real power values are sended.

    a. ResourceForecaster re-sends ResourceForecast if it receives Epoch message for the running epoch again

  6. ResourceForecaster sends a Status message with value "ready"

  7. Repeat steps 4-6 for each epoch with growing epoch number.
  8. ResourceForecaster receives a SimState message "stopped" from SimulationManager.
  9. ResourceForecaster closes itself
