Abstract

Simulation is becoming increasingly crucial in energy system research. Measure 5.3 aims to provide a Simulation-as-a-service (SimaaS) on the NFDI4Energy platform. This service will integrate the three simulation middlewares: mosaik, DaceDS, and VILLASframework. We conducted a comprehensive requirements analysis based on exemplary use cases from Task Area 6 to ensure that the simulation service meets the user's needs. We interviewed the measure leads of Task Area 6 and subsequently drew up the initial and comprehensive list of requirements for the SimaaS. 

Furthermore, we fostered a collaborative environment by organizing an internal workshop to gather additional requirements. The question, “What features would you expect when using a SimaaS containing multiple frameworks?” was thoroughly discussed using the 1-2-4-All method. We then analyzed the workshop results, adding them to the list of requirements. To ensure the requirements for the SimaaS remain up to date during the platform development, we uploaded them to a GitHub repository where users can propose changes.
