Abstract
The integration of microgrids brings advantages for the end-prosumers as well for the grid energy management. Small and medium players became able to actively participate in microgrids. However, is needed a study and the appearance of methodologies that can efficiently integrate these players. The use of load optimization inside households is common in scientific researches. This paper proposes a Java library that can simulate a household using a combination between real and simulated loads. The library also enables the execution of optimization algorithms, to be tested and validated. The paper will present a small demonstration of the library capabilities.
