This project contains the public code for the Easy Smart Grid technology that can integrate more (fluctuating) renewable energy. It creates a market platform where energy producers and consumers can exchange energy and flexibility. Easy Smart Grid promises a simple, robust and affordable solution to activate all Demand Side Management potential (i.e. low cost storage) in electric grids.
This project uses the Gradle build automation tool, containing fully functional Gradle build files (build.gradle). The build process also allows an effortless Eclipse IDE integration.
A provided Gradle wrapper (gradlew) in the root of the project, or an installed Gradle on the system, may be used:
Install Gradle (optionally, if not using the wrapper):
- Download the latest Gradle from the website: https://gradle.org/
- Add bin directory of Gradle to the user/system PATH:
- in Unix systems: add
export PATH=$PATH:/home/<user>/<path>/<gradle-version>/binto~/.bashrc - in Windows follow these instructions
- in Unix systems: add
- Gradle will automatically download the project dependencies from Maven Central. Therefore if you’re behind a proxy you should set the proxy options in the gradle.properties file as explained here.
Install a Java JDK >= 8:
- This project uses at least OpenJDK 8 to compile. If several JDKs are installed on a system, the
org.gradle.java.homeproperty in the gradle.properties file may be set.
Create Eclipse project files using Gradle:
- Eclipse project files can be generated via the command
gradle eclipseor./gradlew eclipse - After generating the Eclipse project files, they can be imported into a Eclipse workspace
- It is important to add the
GRADLE_USER_HOMEvariable in Eclipse: Window->Preferences->Java->Build Path->Classpath Variable. Set it to the path of the~/.gradlefolder in your home directory (e.g./home/<user_name>/.gradle/(Unix) orC:\Users\<user_name>\.gradle\(Windows))
