Mosaik
######

mosaik, according to the `mosaik documentation
<https://mosaik.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_ is a "flexible Smart Grid
co-simulation framework". It can combine various existing models to run large-scale scenarios - and
this is what we intend it for in our use. mosaik can combine our prosumer models like electric
vehicles, energy management systemens, grid calculations, and all the others. While we in our eELib
focus on the implementation of power system models and energy management strategies, mosaik is used
for simulatory behaviour, as explained in the :doc:`overview <../about_eelib>` .

For introduction to mosaik you can or should have a look at its `tutorial
<https://mosaik.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/index.html>`_. Recommended articles of this
tutorial for the use within the eELib are:

   #. Integrating a simulation model into the mosaik ecosystem
   #. Creating and running simple simulation scenarios
   #. (optionally helpful) Adding a control mechanism to a scenario
   #. (optionally helpful) Integrating a control mechanism
