A Suite of Tools

Our microgrid research group at the Naval Postgraduate School is actively developing a suite of open-source web and offline tools designed to assist with the early stages of microgrid planning. Our technology stack includes Python, MySQL, SQLite, Flask, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, HTML, CSS, and Docker. We are distributing our codebase as open-source software for two reasons: (1) allow others in the scientific community to deploy microgrid planning methods that would otherwise be purely methodological research endeavors, due to a lack of resources to develop the infrastructure required for deployment; and (2) encourage others to contribute to the future development of our suite of tools. We welcome both feedback and collaboration opportunities.
