CityLearn v3: A Configurable Simulation and Evaluation Framework for Realistic Control Studies of Renewable Energy Communities
Renewable energy communities (RECs) coordinate buildings, photovoltaic generation, batteries, electric vehicles and flexible loads. Controller studies often simplify changing participation, equipment availability, service deadlines and data quality, so lower cost or peak demand can conceal missed services or infeasible power requests. This paper presents CityLearn v3, a configurable simulation and evaluation framework for REC control studies under these conditions. It represents changing members and assets, flexible-load deadlines, demand-response requests, local energy sharing, and data or equipment failures within one simulation environment. Building and phase power limits constrain con...
