PowerSUME

PowerSUME serves as an interface code that makes the reinforcement‑learning capabilities of the ASSUME framework usable for other agent‑based electricity‑market models. It enables data exchange via an HTTP interface, allowing the electricity‑market model to transmit power‑plant data and forecast information to PowerSUME. PowerSUME then manages the learning environment and, using ASSUME, returns bids.

For more details about the ASSUME framework and its capabilities, please consult the project website https://assume-project.de/. Note that we currently rely on a specific commit of ASSUME (see Prerequisites) to ensure compatibility; the latest version may require adjustments.

At present, only a single price can be passed per unit, and it always markets the maximum available generation capacity.

To use the interface effectively, an additional market model is required that can communicate with the interface according to the endpoints and data contract shown below. In general we only recommend PowerSUME in case, your own model brings an advanadge over ASSUME's market simulation capabilities, for example because you have an existing model with specific features or a preferred modeling approach. ... mehrIf you are starting from scratch, we recommend using ASSUME's built-in market simulation features directly, which are designed to work seamlessly with the learning environment.
