+# Tactical Microgrid Standard (TMS) Implementation
+
+This project implements the Tactical Microgrid Standard (MIL-STD-3071) using OpenDDS for communication between different components of a microgrid system. It provides a simulation for managing and controlling tactical microgrids with distributed power sources, loads, and distribution devices.
+
+## Overview
+
+The implementation consists of several key components:
+
+- **Common Libraries**: Shared functionality for communication and device management, including handshaking, timer management, microgrid controller selection, and QoS profiles
+- **Controller**: Microgrid controller that coordinates power devices and handles operator requests
+- **Power Devices**: Including:
+  - Sources (power generation)
+  - Loads (power consumption)
+  - Distribution (power routing)
+- **CLI**: Command-line interface for operator interaction
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- OpenDDS
+- CMake (version 3.27 or higher)
+- C++ compiler with C++17 support
+
+## Building the Project
+
+```bash
+cmake -B <build_dir>
+cmake --build <build_dir>
+```
+
+## Project Structure
+
+- `cli/`: Command-line interface implementation
+- `cli_idl/`: Interface definition files for CLI commands
+- `common/`: Shared libraries and utilities
+  - TMS data model definitions (mil-std-3071_data_model.idl)
+  - TMS Handshaking function
+  - TMS microgrid controller selection
+  - TMS QoS profiles
+  - Utility functions
+- `controller/`: Microgrid controller implementation
+- `power_devices/`: Power device implementations
+  - Source devices
+  - Load devices
+  - Distribution devices
+- `tests/`: Test suite
+
+## Testing
+
+Tests can be run using CTest after building the project:
+
+```bash
+cd <build_dir>
+ctest
+```
