# SIMBA-EMS
**AI4I 2026 Track 3 — Development | Source and technical-evidence repository**
SIMBA-EMS is a locally hosted, AI-assisted institutional energy-management MVP for Estates and facilities teams. It receives electrical meter readings, forecasts demand and power-quality conditions, applies deterministic engineering safety rules, ranks controllable responses, requires operator approval, and records the resulting decision and impact evidence.
## Current product status
- Working browser dashboard and FastAPI backend.
- Multi-horizon demand forecasting at 30 minutes, 2 hours, 6 hours and 24 hours.
- HGB, LSTM, Transformer and Chronos-2 model routing with chronological validation.
- Separate active-power and reactive-power forecasting for power-factor and tariff-risk analysis.
- Ranked multi-facility action queue.
- Dashboard-only approval, rejection, acknowledgement and audit trail.
- Gmail notification support with local credentials and dry-run mode.
- Server-side software-in-the-loop replay.
- External or physical control disabled by default.
- Planning and simulated impact are not presented as realised electricity-bill savings.
## Core workflow
```text
smart meter or safe simulation
→ edge validation and buffering
→ FastAPI ingestion
→ operational storage
→ multi-model forecasting
→ uncertainty and risk assessment
→ deterministic safety rules
→ operator approval
→ simulation or authorised gateway
→ verification and audit evidence
```
