HAMLET: A modular agent-based Python framework for energy markets and systems

Year: 2025

Type: software-paper

Abstract: HAMLET is an agent-based Python framework designed to model the intricate interactions between energy markets, systems, and stakeholders. Its modular architecture provides a flexible and adaptable platform for analyzing complex energy systems. With numerous pre-built templates for energy system components, HAMLET enables researchers to focus on their area of expertise without the need to develop the surrounding ecosystem from scratch. By integrating market and system dynamics, HAMLET supports diverse applications, including market design optimization, grid management, policy refinement, and energy management system development. HAMLET delivers detailed insights into the technical, economic, and social impacts of new system designs, addressing a critical gap in energy system modeling.
