Initializers Package

The initializers package serves as the primary entry point for setting up the foundational components and data structures required for the building intelligence system. It orchestrates the initialization of databases, device configurations, user profiles, and other critical settings by aggregating several specialized sub-packages.

Sub-packages​

Database​

This package is responsible for all database-related initializations.

  • The influx_init submodule handles the setup of the InfluxDB client and ensures the creation of necessary data buckets for time-series data.
  • The redis_yaml_saver submodule provides functionality to parse YAML configuration files and upload their contents into the Redis database.

Device​

This package centralizes device-related definitions and helper utilities.

  • The device submodule defines the DeviceType enumeration, which categorizes all supported devices, and the DeviceHelper class, which offers static methods for querying and managing device lists.

Grid Functions Config​

This package contains static configuration files that define the behavior of grid-facing services.

  • grid_service_grap.yaml provides configuration for the Grid Response Aggregation Platform (GRAP).

Labels DBs Config​

This package holds various YAML files that define labels, keys, and mappings used across different databases and APIs, ensuring consistent data referencing.

  • It includes configurations for APIs (labels_apis.yaml), communication channels (labels_channels.yaml), market parameters (labels_market.yaml), measurements (labels_measures.yaml), and Redis keys (labels_redis.yaml).

User​

This package focuses on user-specific data.

  • The ProfileGenerators submodule contains tools to create synthetic data profiles for simulating user behavior, such as EV charging and water heater usage.
  • The redis_data_initializer submodule uses these generated profiles to populate the Redis database with initial user data.
