GridIQ provides a bridge between an agent platform and a power simulation tool. It acts as a test bed for agent systems by enabling agents executing within the agent platform to interact with devices in a virtual power network during simulation. GridIQ aims to leverage existing systems and technology where possible by utilising an existing agent development framework as well as an existing power system simulation tool.

The relationships between key components in the GridIQ system are illustrated below.
