Getting started
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
Prerequisites
In order to build farao-core, you need the following environment available:
- Install JDK (11 or greater),
- Install Maven latest version.
Installing
Before installing farao-core, you need to install OR-Tools, a software suite for optimisation that is used by FARAO remedial actions optimiser.
Please refer to OR-tools website for installation instructions.
To build farao-core, enter on the command line:
$> git clone https://github.com/farao-community/farao-core.git
$> cd farao-core
$> ./install.sh
FARAO also needs a loadflow engine and a sensitivity calculation engine at runtime. You may use any engine integrated in PowSyBl framework.
Hades2 tool from RTE is available as a freeware for demonstration purpose. For more information about how to get and install Hades2 loadflow and sensitivity computation, please refer to the dedicated documentation.
Running
In order for FARAO to run without error, you will need to configure your itools platform. itools is a command line interface provided by PowSyBl framework.
Two options are available:
- First, you can use the one provided by FARAO. It is saved in the etc directory of the installation, and is called config.yml. You just have to copy-paste it in $HOME/.itools directory. You can also use one of the provided network post-processor scripts saved in the etc directory by copy-pasting them in the same directory and adding these lines to your config.yml file :
import:
postProcessors: groovyScript
groovy-post-processor:
script: $HOME/.itools/core-cc-ucte-postProcessor.groovy
- Expert users can also adapt it to their own needs.
For using itools, enter on the command line:
cd <install-prefix>/bin
./itools help
