SolarOSCP Flexibility Provider

This app provides web APIs for the Open Smart Charging Protocol (OSCP) Flexibility Provider system, for integration with Capacity Provider and Capacity Optimizer systems. The SolarNet Flexibility Provider system delegates all load management functions to the Capacity Optimizer system: as capacity forecast messages are received from integrated Capacity Provider systems, they are forwarded to an associated Capacity Optimizer system and it is the responsibility of the optimizer to decide how to manage the load of any associated energy assets.

In the context of SolarNetwork, it is assumed that SolarNode devices provide control integration to energy assets, and the SolarNetwork API can be used by the Capacity Optimizer to execute any needed load management actions in response to the Capacity Provider forecast messages. To report the asset and capacity group measurements to the Capacity Optimizer and Capacity Provider systems, appropriate datum streams from SolarNode devices are associated with capacity groups, and this system will query those streams for the measurement values.

OAuth support

In addition to the OSCP-defined token authentication scheme used for authentication between this system and Capacity Provider/Optimizer systems, OAuth 2 access tokens are supported, using the client credentials authentication flow.

Update group capacity forecast (CP → FP)

Here is a data flow diagram representing the OSCP update group capacity forecast function, initiated by a Capacity Provider and using OAuth for authentication:

Dependencies

This app depends on the following projects:

• solarnet-common
• solarnet-datum
• solarnet-instructor
• solarnet-oscp

Runtime Profiles

The following Spring runtime profiles are available:

Profile	Description
aws-secrets	Enables AWS Secrets Manager persistence for OAuth credentials. If not active then a simple file-based resource will be used.
http-trace	Enables HTTP wire-level logging for the net.solarnetwork.http.REQ and net.solarnetwork.http.RES loggers.
mqtt	Enables integration with SolarFlux/MQTT. See SolarFluxPublishingConfig.
no-solarflux	Disable SolarFlux MQTT integration when mqtt profile is active.
oscp-jobs	Enable OSCP periodic jobs to support things like heartbeats and measurement reporting. See JobConfig.
oscp-v20	Enable OSCP v2.0 support.

For example, in a production deployment the SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE environment variable can be configured as

SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE="production,mqtt,oscp-v20,oscp-jobs"

Runtime configuration

See the application.yml file for the available runtime configuration properties, and their default values. You can override any property by creating an application.yml file in the working directory of the application, or via profile-specific files like application-production.yml when the production profile is active.

Building

The build is managed by Gradle, and requires a Java Development Kit version 21+ to build (and run).

# Unix-like OS:
../gradlew build

# Build without running tests:
../gradlew build -x test

# Windows:
../gradlew.bat build

The build produces an executable JAR at build/libs/solaroscp-fp-x.y.z.jar.
