GridVerse Open Low-Code Platform

• Overview
• GridVerse is an open-source, cross-domain energy optimization platform. It provides:
  • A Graph-Contract Registry for versioned data contracts
  • An Adapter Marketplace for plug-and-play cross-domain adapters
  • A tiny ADMM-like solver and delta-sync protocol for distributed optimization
  • A canonical EnergiBridge to translate between GridVerse primitives and a vendor-agnostic IR
  • Water-Pump adapter and cross-domain adapters (WaterPumpAdapter) to bootstrap multi-domain integration

Architecture (highlights)

• gridverse.contracts: LocalProblem, SharedVariables, PlanDelta, ConstraintSet, DeviceInfo
• gridverse.registry: GraphContractRegistry
• gridverse.adapter_marketplace: starter adapters and skeleton interface
• gridverse.solver / gridverse.delta_sync: lightweight solver and offline sync
• EnergiBridge: canonical bridge for cross-domain interoperability

How to run

• bash test.sh to run tests and packaging checks
• Python packaging is defined in pyproject.toml

This repository includes starter adapters to bootstrap interoperability:

• DERInverterAdapter and BuildingLoadAdapter under gridverse/adapter_marketplace

Ready to publish signal

• Once all MVP components are validated and tests pass, a READY_TO_PUBLISH file will be created at the repo root to signal readiness for publishing.

MVP Roadmap (high level)

• Phase 0 (0-2 weeks): define core protocol (Objects, Morphisms, Functors), publish contracts v0.2, implement two starter adapters, build a minimal ADMM-like solver and delta-sync engine.
• Phase 1 (2-4 weeks): add a small set of global constraints (mesh energy balance, water budgets), governance ledger, offline simulations with digital twins.
• Phase 2 (4-6 weeks): adapter marketplace entry points, minimal codegen path, reference UI for graph composition of devices and constraints.
• Phase 3 (6-8 weeks): hardware-in-the-loop validation with 2-3 devices, measure plan quality, convergence, latency; prepare for field pilots.

Contribution & Governance

• This project follows a collaborative, repository-driven development model. See AGENTS.md for architectural guidelines and contribution rules.
• Tests and packaging validation are required before considering publishing artifacts.
• If you add adapters, ensure they adhere to the Interface contracts and include minimal unit tests.

EnergiBridge Interoperability (Optional Reference)

• EnergiBridge provides a canonical, lightweight bridge between GridVerse primitives and a vendor-agnostic intermediate representation (IR).

• It enables plug-and-play adapters and a Graph-of-Contracts registry to interoperate with external backbones (e.g., Open-EnergyMesh, CatOpt).

• Core mappings (illustrative):

  • Objects -> LocalProblems (per-site optimization tasks)
  • Morphisms -> SharedVariables / DualVariables (signals and priors)
  • PlanDelta -> incremental decisions with metadata (timestamp, contract_id, signature)
  • Limits/Colimits -> global constraints layer and policy hooks
  • AuditLog / PrivacyBudget -> governance and audit trails per message

• MVP hook: EnergiBridge provides to_ir / from_ir translations and a minimal bootstrap_contracts helper to seed a registry with basic schemas.

• Starter adapters (DER, Building Load, etc.) wired through the Adapter Marketplace can consume/emit the canonical IR for cross-domain optimization.

• Next steps (phased):

  1. Integrate EnergiBridge mappings into the GraphContractRegistry conformance flows.
  2. Add lightweight tests for to_ir / from_ir translations.
  3. Expand the registry to support per-message metadata for auditability and replay protection.
