Abstract
This repository contains dataset files, mathematical model implementations, and code artifacts for a Solar-Powered Closed-Loop Recirculating Water Gravity Battery System. The system integrates a differentiable digital twin framework for microgrid energy management, deep reinforcement learning algorithms (including Proximal Policy Optimization) for dynamic dispatch and battery energy storage system scheduling, and integrated cyber-physical security monitoring protocols for smart grid optimization. Key Features: Hydro-Gravitational Energy Storage Modeling: Formulations and numerical simulations for closed-loop, solar-rechargeable water gravity battery systems. Reinforcement Learning Dispatch Control: Implementation of PPO-based adaptive control and Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) optimization models for dynamic load management and energy storage scheduling. Cyber-Physical Power System Security: Algorithms for false data injection attack (FDIA) detection, Extended Kalman Filtering (EKF), and Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) verification protocols for resilient microgrid operation. Performance Analysis: Experimental datasets, simulation scripts, and output logs evaluating hydraulic efficiency, non-dimensional dynamics, and load balancing across operational constraints
The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

It is found that roles of MVPs in startups were not fully aware by entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs should consider a systematic approach to fully explore the value of MVP, as a multiple facet product (MFP).
