Cloud-Based Optimization (AWS) component for MLE+.
- UNIX Machine: aws-mlep can only be run on a unix-machine.
- AWS account credentials: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html
- Matlab Installation.
- Download the folder into your machine or clone the repository.
- Go into the awsinit.m file and edit the credential information with your own.
- Run the installation file awsinit.m
We have setup 4 different example projects that should be available to run as long as you have a AWS account. AWS-MLEP allows you to perform parametric simulation and search optimization by implementing a Genetic Algorithm. In each of these two categories we can optimized for design as well as run-time parameters. Design parameters refer to fixed value parameters during the simulation, these include wall thickness and material properties. Run-time parameters include room setpoints, occupancy, lighting, loads, etc.
This is an example to try multiple construction material properties as well as different thickness.
- Construction Material Properties
- Demand Response: Changes in setpoints strategies.
This examples use the search optimization to find an optimal based on a objective function.
