pymfm - A Python framework for microgrid flexibility management

pymfm is an open-source Python framework for microgrid flexibility management. It is used for developing and testing management strategies according to the rule-based and optimization-based algorithms. This framework allows to control flexible assets in form of battery energy storage and photovoltaic units within microgrids and in both (near) real-time and scheduling operation modes. Additionally, pymfm provides simulation routines for microgrids and can be used by researchers, system operators, aggregators, microgrid owners, renewable energy communities, etc. An example is also provided and serves as an illustration of how the framework can be used to test custom energy management strategies.
