Quick Start

You can install hive with pip install nrel.hive (see the README for more detailed instructions)

HIVE is typically run using the command line interface (CLI) by calling the hive command. For example, you can run either of the pre-packaged scenarios with hive denver_demo.yaml or hive manhattan.yaml.

The model takes in a single configuration file that specifies everything that makes up a single simulation (see the inputs page).

When the simulation is run (hive denver_demo.yaml for example), the model will write several output files that describe what happened during the simulation (see the outputs page).

You can also use hive as library for co-simulation or to implement custom control logic (see the customize page).
