Welcome to the prosumption wiki!

Here we'll collate our ideas on the purpose of this repository and questions we need to answer / ideas we have to specify the problem that we intend to solve.

The aim is to develop an API that is abstract enough to apply across a wide variety of prosumers in terms of both scale and technology that they represent, but detailed and practical enough to be usable in both computer models of systems and real life deployments.

First some background

• What is prosumption?
• What's a prosumer (at least for the purposes of this repository)?
• Where is the concept of prosumer useful (i.e. where might prosumption be used)?
• What's the purpose of enabling a generic prosumer API

This is where we'll collect thoughts as we develop an API and toolbox to kick off, we might try the following topics

• How to prosumers nest / group?
• How do we deal with the "actual kit"
• How do we represent prosumption profiles over time?
