SUMMARY:PowSyBl: TSO Cooperation Through Building Blocks - Nicolas Omont\, Artelys & Alice Caron\, RTE
DESCRIPTION:During the last years\, the PowSyBl ecosystem has expanded in many directions around the core module dedicated to grid data management\, allowing the collaboration of an increasing number of organisations. As the workhorse of power systems\, Open Load Flow is leading the adoption cycle with live projects for load flow\, security analysis or sensitivity analysis at many TSOs and Coordination Centers. The advanced optimization tool OpenRAO is also a leading operational remedial action optimizer in Europe. Beyond computation modules\, many users also adopted PowSyBl thanks to its easiness of use in day-to-day scripting through the python interface\, and to grid and substation visualization features. The technical ecosystem is also widening with projects like the dynamic simulation module Dynawo and the grid study platform GridSuite. These last projects are open-source and are an open invitation to start cooperation. The session will provide an overview of the ecosystem\, providing\, for each module\, the main features and use cases\, the maturity status\, and the roadmap. Eventually\, through some examples\, the way PowSyBl governance allows to start new cooperations will be presented.

SUMMARY:Tools for Facilitating Dynawo Usage - Jose Luis Marin\, AIA ; Marco Chiaramello\, RTE\, Réseau de Transport d’Électricité; Clara Fernández Castañer\, APLICACIONES EN INFORMATICA AVANZADA; Guiu Oms Font\, AIA
DESCRIPTION:Dynawo is an Open-Source\, production-level dynamic simulator developed by RTE\, now in use for operations planning processes. It is also the reference tool for validating the compliance of new projects to grid code requirements in France. Dynawo comes with an extensive library of RMS models written in Modelica\, including a complete suite of generic models (WECC\, IEC) for inverter-based resources. \n \n This Tutorial will benefit anyone who is interested in using and/or extending Dynawo's *model library* but is finding that Dynawo (the *simulator*) has a steep learning curve. In particular\, we will be presenting new tools designed for facilitating the uptake of Dynawo's models\, demonstrating a few use-cases: \n * Usage within pure Modelica: solving the initialization problem \n * Usage of Dynawo via PyPowSyBl: construction\, manipulation\, and visualization of (large) study cases \n * Parameter-sweep studies \n * Small-stability analysis \n \n The tools take the form of Python and Julia Notebooks\, designed to be flexible and easy to change by end-users. The session will also emphasize *understanding* these tools to encourage the customization and promote new creative solutions.

SUMMARY:From Open-source Models To Production-grade Energy Planning Workflows - Harry van der Weijde\, Open Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:Open source tools can improve transparency\, collaboration\, and speed in energy system planning\, but real adoption requires more than publishing code. Drawing on work with system operators and energy institutions in Europe and Africa\, this session shares practical lessons on turning open source models\, data\, and software into trusted planning workflows that organisations can use\, maintain\, and scale. \n \n The session will focus on the transition from promising open source projects to production grade use in institutional planning contexts. It will cover the technical foundations needed for adoption\, including enterprise grade applications\, interoperability with existing tools\, planning grade data infrastructure\, reproducibility\, and comparability across studies. It will also cover the institutional foundations: governance\, maintenance\, sustainable funding\, long term support\, training\, and local capacity building. \n \n The central argument is that adoption depends not only on code quality\, but on trust. Energy institutions need confidence that open source workflows can integrate into existing processes\, remain reliable over time\, and be supported by credible communities and organisations.

SUMMARY:Redispatch Without Black Boxes: Load Forecasting With OpenSTEF at E.ON - Alexander Geiseler\, E.ON Digital Technology
DESCRIPTION:For reliable and cost-efficient distribution grid operation and redispatch management\, accurate short-term forecasting is a core prerequisite. At E.ON\, we originally relied on vendor-built “black box” forecasting solutions and experienced the familiar trade-offs: slow iteration cycles\, limited transparency\, and dependence on external roadmaps. In this talk\, I’ll share our journey to an open-source target picture for transformer load forecasting in a redispatch context. After a quick intro to the redispatch problem and our system setup\, I’ll walk through our OpenSTEF-based approach. I’ll then present results from a real benchmark against an external model and the practical lessons learned\; what mattered\, what didn’t\, and where open source helped us move faster. Finally\, I’ll cover the organizational path: how we navigated compliance and governance with our Open Source Office to turn from user into contributor.

SUMMARY:PowSyBl: A Service Provider Business Model - Nicolas Omont\, Artelys
DESCRIPTION:This session presents Artelys' vision of a sustainable business model around the PowSyBl open-source framework for power system modelling. \n \n The approach relies on a clear separation between strategic governance\, technical steering and community contributions\, enabling transparency and alignment across stakeholders (TSOs\, RCCs\, utilities\, vendors). The roadmap is not imposed by a vendor but co-defined by contributors and users\, who can influence priorities through governance bodies and structured collaboration. \n \n From a business perspective\, value is created through services: integration\, custom developments\, and especially long-term support & maintenance of shared modules. This model leverages mutualization: several users co-finance core components\, ensuring sustainability of complex software while avoiding vendor lock-in. \n \n The session will illustrate how open-source approach enables both flexibility for individual projects and efficiency at ecosystem scale.

SUMMARY:Generation and Load Interconnection Studies in the US Using PowSyBl - Dio Stamatiadis\, Piq Energy
DESCRIPTION:Capacity screening studies help US generation and large-load developers evaluate project size against available network capacity. Once a project size is selected\, system impact studies determine project-specific impacts and upgrade costs. Developers often need to run tens or hundreds of sensitivities to understand risk\, compare sites\, and navigate the interconnection process\, making scale\, speed\, and accuracy critical. In the US\, these studies are most commonly performed with commercial planning software. While open-source alternatives exist\, they are still rarely used in industry-grade workflows. \n \n We will show how we are incorporating PowSyBl into our power system analysis platform as an alternative engine for US studies. We will cover why we selected PowSyBl after evaluating other open-source options\, what it took to adapt it to US planning conventions\, how its results compare with commercial tools\, and lessons learned bringing open-source power-system analysis into production workflows. We will also discuss where we plan to extend its use next\, including broader study coverage\, deeper workflow integration\, and contributions back to the ecosystem.

SUMMARY:How To Industrialize an Open Source Approach Around PowSyBl - Régis Le Drézen\, Agnès Triponel & Sébastien Dinot\, Sopra Steria
DESCRIPTION:Transmission system operators face structural challenges: sovereignty\, security\, safety\, efficiency\, digitalization … \n In this session\, Sopra Steria shares a practitioner’s journey of embedding LF Energy’s PowSyBl into a real TSO production program for RTE. We cover two concrete contributions shipped to the open source community: decoupling the network-viewer component from any frontend framework (React/Angular agnostic)\, enabling simultaneous dual-value display (P active and Q reactive) on grid lines. Beyond the code\, we discuss how an IT company structures its OSPO\, open source governance (Licence Rules Book)\, and the cultural shift required to move from “consumer” to “contributor” in a critical infrastructure context.

SUMMARY:Closing Gaps From Commercial Tools in German Redispatch 2.0 With Open Source Tools - Jordanno Paiva\, Accenture
DESCRIPTION:Redispatch volumes have increased enormously over the past year\, creating new challenges for existing technologies\, tools\, and processes. These challenges become particularly visible in settlement and billing\, which sit at the end of a long chain of operational and data-processing steps. \n \n The use of multiple commercial tools from different vendors can make data access\, process transparency\, and adaptation to changing requirements difficult. To address this\, Bayernwerk has started using open-source tools to improve data transparency and support error detection\, correction\, and analysis in the Redispatch 2.0 process. \n \n The initial experiment was successful and\, beyond the original use case\, has attracted new users across the organization. Making data more openly available internally has enabled new applications across departments and contributed to a broader shift in how data is used. \n \n The next challenge is to scale and industrialize these tools to meet growing internal demand\, while integrating more advanced features where LF Energy and other open source tools can play an increasingly relevant role.

SUMMARY:Scaling Grid Security With Open Source - Hugo Pfister & Jorn van der Landen\, TenneT Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:The power grid is changing fast\, and the systems behind it are under pressure. More data\, tighter timeframes\, increasing congestion\, and regulatory requirements are pushing traditional grid security tools beyond their limits. At TenneT Netherlands\, legacy tooling was simply no longer fast and adaptable enough to keep up with this new reality. \n \n By combining the open source PowSyBl framework with a cloud-native orchestration platform (ReFlow)\, TenneT rebuilt its grid security analysis from the ground up. The result is a step change in performance and capability: reducing calculation runtimes from minutes to seconds and enabling a fundamentally different way of working. \n \n This session will show how we: \n \n - Moved from monolithic legacy tooling to a modular\, scalable architecture \n - Used open source to accelerate delivery and avoid vendor lock-in \n - Established what it takes to run open source in a mission-critical environment \n - Strengthened operator support by providing an integrated view across analyses through modular design

SUMMARY:Resilience\, Redefined: What Software-Defined Grids Means for European Sovereignty - Astor Nummelin Carlberg\, SUSE
DESCRIPTION:Grid resilience is not a new idea. European energy systems have been built for stability\, interoperability\, and cross-border operation for generations\, long before "digital sovereignty" became a policy priority. Energy was at the very heart of European integration from the beginning. \n \n As the grid becomes software-defined\, resilience takes on a new dimension. What does continuity of operation mean when critical infrastructure depends on software? And what does the energy sector's knowledge of large-scale\, stable transitions offer to the European digital sovereignty debate? \n \n The energy sector sits at a unique intersection: highly regulated\, yet positioned to lead other critical sectors. It already operates at continental scale with common standards and complex governance. Interoperability is not a preference here—it is a structural necessity. \n \n The Strategic Roadmap for Digitalisation and AI in Energy is part of the European Commission's Tech Sovereignty Package. This session explores what energy sector expertise in resilient\, interoperable\, open infrastructure can offer the EU's sovereignty agenda\, and what this industry’s leadership might look like in practice.

SUMMARY:Connecting LF Energy’s Projects: A Mini-City Prototype for the Digital Grid Ecosystem - Darshan Chawda & Nao Nishijima\, Hitachi\, Ltd.
DESCRIPTION:LF Energy has a growing ecosystem of open-source projects for forecasting\, digital substations\, data-driven operation\, and more. However\, for many users\, one question remains difficult: how do these projects fit together in a realistic digital grid workflow? \n Over the past year\, we explored many LF Energy projects and analyzed how they can work as parts of a larger grid ecosystem. Based on this\, we're building a miniature city-grid prototype in our research lab that connects different projects across a shared operational chain. For example\, one workflow starts with load and renewable forecasting\, uses grid-model calculations to assess network impact\, and surfaces the resulting event to an operator workflow. \n The session will include a demo walkthrough using recorded lab segments\, architecture diagrams\, and data-flow examples. It will show how projects such as OpenSTEF\, SEAPATH\, PowSyBl\, OpenGridFM\, and OperatorFabric can fit within the same architecture. Attendees understand where to start\, what role each project can play individually\, and how they can be connected to solve practical digital grid problems. The session will also highlight integration gaps for community discussion.

SUMMARY:Selectivity as Code: Closing the Loop Between PowSyBl and SEAPATH - Aurélien Wataré\, RTE INTERNATIONAL & Nevena Popović\, RTE international South-East Europe
DESCRIPTION:PowSyBl runs load flow in production at TSOs\; its short-circuit side is younger. We do not need a perfect fault engine to make the next leap. Treat PowSyBl as a *grid engine* — it gives the short-circuit power Scc\, the fault current Icc\, line parameters and source strength\, the boundary conditions a protection study needs since relays are set on Icc min and max. Feed those into the *real* protection\, virtualized on a SEAPATH base\, close it into a software loop over one zone\, and you test selectivity the way software teams test code: deterministically\, repeatably\, in the open.

SUMMARY:How To Orchestrate RL Agents for Topological Remedial Actions Using PowSyBl’s Operator Strategy - Harald Jendrian\, TUM School of Engineering and Design
DESCRIPTION:We bring LF Energy's PowSyBl into the control room as a decision support tool\, combining grid analysis with Reinforcement Learning to solve post-contingency problems immediately. Increasing complexity amplifies overloads\, demanding corrective actions beyond what manual operator heuristics and existing tools can deliver in time. Open-source RL agents backed by PowSyBl learn curative topology reconfigurations for the Simbench EHV network in Node-Breaker representation. Agents observe bus voltages\, line loadings\, injection profiles\, and switching states. The action space controls breakers and disconnectors via valid action masks for node splitting\, busbar re-assignment\, and line (dis)connection. Remedial actions are injected as Operator Strategy actions inside PowSyBl's Security Analysis\, faithfully reproducing N-1 assessment in training. We discuss reward design\, bonuses\, penalties\, and action-masking. The talk ends with a live demo: a Leaflet map with colour-coded loadings\, interactive single-line diagrams\, forecast plots\, and a control panel triggering Security Analysis and visualising corrective actions via PowSyBl's Operator Strategy in real time.

SUMMARY:How E.ON's OSPO Maps Energy Open Source Projects To Real World Utility Needs - Sebastian Grüner & Benjamin Rilz\, E.ON Digital Technology GmbH
DESCRIPTION:LF Energy and the broader energy Open Source ecosystem offer a growing number of promising projects\, but for many utilities the challenge is no longer awareness alone — it is understanding which projects are relevant for their operations\, how to evaluate them\, and how to connect them to real business needs . \n \n E.ON's OSPO built a practical evaluation approach for LF Energy and other industry projects. The goal was to turn the evaluation into something internal stakeholders could understand\, discuss\, and base their decisions in. \n \n The presentation will introduce the evaluation framework we used to assess selected LF Energy projects and highlight key findings. However\, the focus will be on what happened after the OSPO-internal evaluation: how the insights helped us identify the most relevant business units\, how we engaged with these teams through targeted user interviews\, and how this created a solid baseline towards adoption.

SUMMARY:Grid Enhancement Platform: Operationalizing Open Source for Real-Time\, Risk-Aware Grid Management - Ankur Arohi\, emsys grid services GmbH
DESCRIPTION:Modern power systems are undergoing a structural transformation that planning tools were never designed to handle. System operators today manage this complexity with tools built for a different era\, decisions made on intuition shaped by experience rather than probabilistic foresight. \n The Grid Enhancement Platform (GEP) solves this software architecture challenge as an open-source reference architecture. Built on a modular\, loosely coupled stack of four mature projects LF Energy’s PowSyBl\, Power Grid Model\, OpenSTEF and Pandapower. At day-ahead clearing\, GEP ingests the cleared positions and runs a forward-looking network state simulation. Using the probabilistic outputs at the asset level\, propagated upward through aggregation engine and evaluated against the network model in Power Grid Model and PowSyBl\, the platform generates a time-series of nodal state distributions. At the aggregation level\, flexibility assets-batteries\, demand response contracts are modelled as degrees of freedom that can be co-optimised against both the energy market objective and the network constraint objective simultaneously. The result is a genuinely localised\, network-aware dispatch signal .

SUMMARY:AINETUS - AI for Safety-Critical Network Infrastructures - Gil Sampaio\, INESC TEC
DESCRIPTION:This talk will present the LF Energy project AINETUS\, which implements AI-based decision-support (AI assistant) capabilities for power system operations\, addressing the increasing complexity of modern grids driven by high levels of renewable energy integration. Traditional tools are often limited in their ability to anticipate system dynamics and support operators under rapidly changing conditions. AINETUS tackles this gap by combining data-driven techniques with domain knowledge to provide proactive\, explainable\, and operator-centric support. \n It will show a set of components designed to work together or independently within existing operational environments\, in particular: (1) Human-AI interaction tools that enhance situational awareness. (2) Reinforcement learning agents that identify optimal operational strategies\, capable of adapting to evolving grid conditions while respecting physical constraints. \n (3) Explainability tools and uncertainty estimation that help to provide transparent recommendations to support informed decision-making. \n AINETUS is designed to integrate with existing platforms and workflows\, leveraging environments such as Grid2Op for training and validation.

SUMMARY:Fast\, Lean\, Precise\, Controlled: Compliance Automation With OSCAL in Our Open-Source-Program-Office - Markus Hillebrand\, 50Hertz Transmission GmbH
DESCRIPTION:In the world of open-source governance\, we are currently facing ‘waves the size of Nazaré’ in the form of regulatory changes\, while the intensity of attacks on organizations’ digital services and supply chains continues to increase. It remains a mystery why many organizations respond by hiding behind ever-higher ‘walls of paperwork’ and creating cumbersome bureaucratic processes. We suggest a different path: to surf these waves and treat them as opportunities for progress. \n \n This session presents a lean\, developer-centric approach to governance. Instead of relying on isolated GRC tools (or spreadsheets)\, we treat compliance as if it were a collaboration between developers. We collect applicable and auditable requirements from open standards and transform them into human-readable data records using OSCAL (Open Security Controls Assessment Language) ... and store them in GIT. We combine classic automation with AI agents to get compliance tasks done. In this session\, we will show you real-world cases along the journey through a continuous improvement iteration (PDCA cycle) and demonstrate what can be achieved with such a workbench.

SUMMARY:Towards Industrial Grid Foundation Models With PowSyBl and GridFM - Nicolas Lair\, Artelys
DESCRIPTION:This lightning talk presents the integration of the PowSyBl framework into the datakit of GridFM\, two flagship LF Energy projects\, to bridge foundation models and industrial-grade power system simulation. GridFM relies on large-scale synthetic data generation\, such as load flows\, to train a foundation model\, where training data quality directly impacts model performance during inference. \n The integration of PowSyBl brings several key benefits. It extends GridFM to realistic and industrial-grade network models by supporting multiple formats (CIM\, CGMES\, PSS/E)\, enabling the use of richer and more representative datasets. It provides access to an industrial-grade load flow solver through Open Load Flow\, improving the physical consistency and accuracy of generated data. Finally\, it enables the generation of dynamic simulation data through Dynawo\, opening the way to foundation models trained on both static and dynamic grid behaviours. \n Overall\, this integration is a key step toward the industrialization of grid foundation models\, enabling their application to real-world power system studies.

SUMMARY:OpenSynth Dataset Extension - RTE7K Challenge - Pierre Olivier Cayetanot\, CRESYM & Josh Cooney Mercadal\, eRoots Analytics
DESCRIPTION:Last year\, the LF Energy project OpenSynth expanded with the launch of D-GITT\, an open data hub featuring RTE7K: a dataset of the whole French transmission grid\, including topological changes over three years. Striking the interest of other actors in opening their own dataset\, RTE7K demonstrated its values as a realistic\, open benchmark for grid analysis. \n \n Now\, RTE\, CRESYM\, eRoots and IRT SystemX joined forces to launch the RTE7K Challenges\, a series of challenges centered around the dataset. The first one\, kicking off at this summit\, focuses on tackling the "missing piece" for running powerflows on the RTE7K dataset: power injection data. Participants are tasked with producing realistic\, synthetic injections using whatever public data and methodology they can come up with. As well as being an enticing challenge for participants\, the outcome will be a critical extension to RTE7K that will enable further users to test and validate tools using data comparable to what was previously exclusive to TSOs. \n \n Future challenges will explore topics like AI-driven grid topology management\, power flow analysis and more\, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with open grid data.

SUMMARY:Towards GridFM: GENCO – a Unified Neural Solver for Steady-state Grid Analysis - Speakers to Be Announced
DESCRIPTION:Last year\, we introduced a basic Grid Foundation Model (GridFM) for power flow. This year we released GENCO – the GEometric Neural Corrective Optimizer\, a neural solver for steady-state transmission-grid analysis. It unifies three grid-analysis tasks that are typically handled by separate pipelines: power flow (PF)\, optimal power flow (OPF)\, and state estimation (SE). GENCO represents the grid as a heterogeneous graph and iteratively refines solutions using task-specific physical decoders\, box constraints\, and explicit power-balance residuals. GENCO achieves state-of-the-art performance against specialized model baselines and classical solvers\, with 5× and 200× speedup for AC-PF and AC-OPF respectively\, as well as improved robustness in SE under sparse observability conditions. Beyond the model\, we released gridfm-datakit for realistic grid data generation\, gridfm-graphkit for low-code training and evaluation\, and benchmark datasets spanning PF and OPF instances. By unifying model architecture\, data generation\, training\, inference\, and benchmarking\, this end-to-end framework shortens innovation cycles and reduces integration efforts for the LFE community.

SUMMARY:Bringing Open Energy Models To GIS: Interoperability With ESDL in ArcGIS and QGIS - Thomas van Dijk\, TNO
DESCRIPTION:We present how the open Energy System Description Language (ESDL) is translated into GIS environments to enable interoperable and transparent spatial energy planning\, across domains. ESDL is a modelling language designed to represent multi-carrier energy system components\, their relationships\, and dynamic behavior\, while structuring assets\, network topologies\, and scenarios in a consistent way. \n \n In the Netherlands the spatial dimension of the energy transition is critical and diverse stakeholders (grid operators\, municipalities\, industry\, and modelers) have to exchange\, aggregate\, and iteratively refine energy scenarios. This makes a shared standard\, that connects different models across domains (e.g. heat\, gas and electricity) and seamlessly links to GIS\, important. \n In this session\, we demonstrate how Esri and ArcGIS are integrating ESDL and explore what this means for interoperability and the open-source ecosystem. How can a leading GIS platform evolve into an open environment for open energy simulation models? \n \n We will share the latest status of ESDL integration in both ArcGIS and QGIS\, including practical examples such as hydrogen network simulations: https://arcg.is/9rP0y

SUMMARY:CapEx\, OpEx\, and Open Source - Michael Dorner & Maximilian Capraro\, Capraro Dorner PartG
DESCRIPTION:Regulatory frameworks in the energy sector often favor capital expenditures (CapEx) over operational expenses (OpEx)\, creating a structural disincentive for TSOs and DSOs to develop and publish open-source software. In this talk\, we unpack the root causes of this bias and present preliminary findings from our Linux Foundation–funded research. Finally\, we outline pathways to realign incentives and enable broader adoption of open source for energy infrastructure.

SUMMARY:From Open Data To Foundation Models: Building GridSFM for Power Grid Analysis - Andrea Britto Mattos Lima\, Microsoft Research
DESCRIPTION:We present GridSFM\, an open-source dataset and foundation model that enables building and operating transmission-scale power grid models from open data to machine learning inference. \n \n Starting from publicly available sources in the United States (OpenStreetMap\, U.S. EIA\, and U.S. Census)\, our pipeline constructs geographically grounded\, AC-OPF-solvable U.S. power grid models at continental scale. Importantly\, our modeling pipeline can be extended to other locations where similar open data is available. \n \n On top of this data layer\, GridSFM introduces a physics-informed foundation model trained across a diverse mix of grid topologies and operating scenarios to predict AC-OPF solutions in milliseconds\, enabling fast feasibility screening and solver acceleration. \n \n This session will walk through the full stack: from open data ingestion and model construction to ML training and deployment. We will share lessons learned building reproducible\, large-scale grid datasets and integrating physics constraints into learning systems.

SUMMARY:Asset Thermal Models: Expanding the Family of Thermal Models To Cables and Switchgear - Anna Van Velsen & Jesse Tjebbes\, Alliander
DESCRIPTION:We need the capability to thermally model all components in the chain of assets. The global energy transition is rapidly reshaping electricity systems\, driven by decarbonization\, electrification\, and the integration of renewables. These developments introduce new operational challenges for grid operators\, including increased congestion and the need to maximize existing grid capacity while ensuring reliability. \n \n Building on our Transformer Thermal Model\, we add two new members to the family of thermal models: Cable Thermal Model (CTM) and Switchgear Thermal Model (SGTM). These models estimate asset temperatures based on load\, ambient conditions\, and technical specifications. Together\, they allow operators to identify bottlenecks\, assess hidden capacity\, and mitigate congestion risks. As this now enables operators to model most primary components in the grid\, the applicability and value increase exponentially! \n \n In this talk\, we demonstrate how we apply these models in practice across multiple asset types\, enabling higher asset utilization\, optimal grid planning\, improved monitoring\, and more efficient system operation.

SUMMARY:Open Source ROI Framework for Grid Operators - Sam Boysel\, The Linux Foundation & Dr. Mital Kanabar\, PowerProfs
DESCRIPTION:In an era of rapid energy transition\, grid operators face complex software procurement decisions. This session introduces an open-source quantitative framework enabling utilities and regulators to benchmark the total value of OSS adoption. The framework structures decision-making by enumerating benefit and cost components and distilling them into intuitive indices for relative efficiency. \n \n Topics covered in this session: \n \n - OSS Benefit-Cost Framework: A deep dive into the model’s four primary components: Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)\, Risk Factors (e.g.\, vendor lock-in\, cybersecurity)\, Strategic Value (e.g.\, operational efficiency\, innovation)\, and Social Benefits (e.g.\, sustainability\, equity). We will demonstrate how to adapt and extend this framework for specific utility contexts. \n \n - Ecosystem Report: A summary of the current energy software ecosystem using the framework to highlight real-world trends and the strategic advantages of public digital infrastructure. \n \n Attendees will gain a methodology to move beyond qualitative arguments and effectively capture the diverse value OSS offers to the global power grid.

SUMMARY:Comparing Grid Control Architectures: A MBSE Approach With CyberGridML\, SysON and SysML V2 - Akli Rahmoun\, RTE France & Guillaume Giraud\, RTE
DESCRIPTION:As power grids transition to highly integrated cyber-physical systems\, the complexity of control architectures poses a major challenge for resilience and scalability. This session introduces CyberGridML\, a modeling language based on MBSE (Model-Based System Engineering) and the OMG SysML v2 standard\, designed to evaluate the impact of digital architecture on operational performance. \n We will demonstrate how to model a modular SCADA system across three architectural layers: functional control\, digital resources and hazard modeling (computing failures\, network failures\, network latency\, etc.). Through a concrete case study\, we show how the CyberGridML methodology enables a rigorous assessment of trade-offs between resilience\, operational efficiency and cost\, and how these models can be leveraged within digital twin environments such as TwinEU control-room twin to support realistic experimentation and training.

SUMMARY:Phlowers: An Ecosystem for Physical Simulations of Overhead Lines - Jérémy Wang & Adrien Goeller\, RTE
DESCRIPTION:Understanding\, simulating and predicting the behavior of overhead lines and their supporting structures (including electrical towers) is essential for securing grid maintenance and extending asset life. Phlowers provides tools to achieve this in a simple way\, despite the complexity of the underlying algorithms. \n \n Phlowers is an Open Source ecosystem that brings mechanical and thermal modeling of overhead lines to engineers\, researchers and operators\, including those working offline. In the future\, it will integrate the modeling of supporting structures (pylons/towers) to simulate mechanical constraints and interactions within the grid. \n \n The ecosystem currently includes Python libraries for simulations and an offline web application called Stellar. It enables users to customize models\, integrate their own data and adapt tools to operational needs. It will also support large-scale batch computations to assess maintenance policies\, simulate multiple scenarios and optimize long-term asset management strategies. \n \n In this session\, we will explore its architecture\, use cases and contribution to innovation in grid asset management.

SUMMARY:Who Builds the Tools? Creating Pathways for Women in Open Source Energy Modelling - Tosin George\, Open Energy Transition & Ekaterina Fedotova\, Open Energy Transition\, PyPSA-meets-Earth
DESCRIPTION:The open source energy community is building the tools that will shape the global energy transition. But who is building those tools and who is being left out of that conversation? \n \n Women remain significantly underrepresented in open source energy modelling worldwide. This is not just an equity issue. It is a capability gap. When the people building energy planning tools do not reflect the diversity of the communities they serve\, the solutions themselves fall short. \n \n This session introduces a first-of-its-kind mentorship programme designed to bring more African women into open source energy modelling\, developed in partnership between LF Energy\, the World Resources Institute\, Centre for Net Zero and Open Energy Transition. \n \n The programme builds structured\, supported pathways connecting aspiring women energy experts with experienced practitioners. Crucially\, it is designed not just to prepare women for the open source community but to prepare the open source community to welcome and sustain them. \n \n Panellists will share how the programme was conceived\, how the partnership was built\, what the curriculum looks like\, and what the community can do to support and sustain it.

SUMMARY:Building a Multi-Vendor\, Software-Defined Substation: Lessons From Red Hat’s VPAC Demonstrator - Daniel Schaefer\, Red Hat
DESCRIPTION:Grid modernization requires moving beyond proprietary "black boxes" toward open\, software-defined substations. This session explores the architecture and lessons learned from building Red Hat’s vPAC (virtualized Protection\, Automation\, and Control) demonstrator. Aligned with the LF Energy SEAPATH reference design\, we share experiences how a single-server setup can host multi-vendor vPAC solutions (by ABB and Euto Energy) in different formats (VM and containers). A key highlight is the coexistence of these critical low-latency workloads with non-critical engineering workstations\, running side by side on the same box. \n \n Finally\, we share validation results from real-time Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulations of a medium-voltage substation with 10 bays\, proving timely trip responses in our lab environment. Discover how an open\, enterprise-grade platform decouples hardware cycles from software innovation to drive grid agility.

SUMMARY:The Rise of Software-Defined Charging: Maximizing Hardware Flexibility With EVerest - Marco Möller\, Pionix
DESCRIPTION:The EV charging industry is undergoing a massive transformation\, mirroring the broader tech shift toward Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN). Welcome to the era of Software-Defined Charging (SDC). \n Historically\, charging stations were built using rigid hardware blocks\, requiring separate microcontrollers for every new functional domain: from complex protocols (ISO 15118) to load balancing and UI. This fragmented\, bare-metal architecture slows innovation\, drives up BOM costs\, and makes feature updates nearly impossible. \n \n SDC changes the paradigm by decoupling hardware from software. By consolidating high-level logic onto a centralized computing unit\, manufacturers can drastically reduce complexity and completely transform the product lifecycle. Instead of deploying static hardware that quickly ages out\, SDC enables a continuous software lifecycle via over-the-air updates\, keeping field assets relevant for years. \n \n In this talk\, we will explore how the open-source EVerest project acts as the operating engine for SDC\, enabling the hardware ecosystem to mix-and-match physical components\, build flexible satellite systems\, and utilize digital twin testing.

SUMMARY:PowSyBl Open RAO\, a Shared Roadmap - Mathieu Kretz\, Artelys & Viktor Terrier\, RTE - Réseau de Transport d'Electricité
DESCRIPTION:Remedial Action Optimisation (RAO) is becoming a key operational capability to manage interconnected power systems across Europe. As requirements evolve and implementations mature\, there is a growing need for coordination between stakeholders contributing to and relying on shared solutions. \n This Birds of a Feather session is an open\, collaborative forum around PowSyBl OpenRAO\, bringing together developers such as Artelys\, TSOs such as RTE\, and RCCs such as Coreso to exchange on experiences\, ongoing work\, and upcoming priorities. \n RTE and Artelys will present developments carried out on OpenRAO over the past year and those planned for the next (algorithmic improvements\, countertrading within the optimisation core\, …)\, with a focus on alignment with requirements from ongoing projects\, notably SWE ROSC for Coreso. The session will also explore connections with related initiatives\, including ToOP. \n Rather than a one-way presentation\, we will focus on interaction: participants will be invited to share plans\, challenges\, and expectations regarding OpenRAO. The objective is to foster convergence\, encourage contributions\, and strengthen a shared vision for OpenRAO within the LFE community.

SUMMARY:CityLearn for Human-Centered Grid Flexibility - Ava Mohammadi\, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)
DESCRIPTION:As buildings become active participants in the energy transition\, understanding flexibility at the building and occupant level is becoming increasingly important for addressing grid congestion challenges. While many energy system models rely on simplified representations\, detailed grid-integrated building models can provide deeper insight into how HVAC systems\, EV charging\, distributed energy resources\, and occupant behavior interact with the grid in practice. \n \n This talk presents CityLearn as an open-source platform for studying coordinated energy flexibility strategies across buildings and districts. Recently integrated into the LF Energy community\, CityLearn enables researchers and practitioners to explore how building dynamics and occupant-centric control approaches can reveal flexibility potential often overlooked in simplified representations. The session will discuss advanced control strategies for HVAC systems\, electrical storage\, EV charging\, and occupant comfort\, together with the importance of connecting detailed building intelligence with broader power grid modeling frameworks to better capture realistic building-grid interactions.

SUMMARY:From Code To Models-as-Data: GEMS\, a High-Level Language for Energy System Modelling - Thomas Bittar\, RTE
DESCRIPTION:Energy systems are undergoing rapid transformation as sector coupling intensifies and variable renewable generation grows\, creating a pressing need for flexible and transparent modeling tools. While many open-source frameworks offer rich features\, extending them with new mathematical models typically requires writing custom software\, a barrier for many analysts. \n \n We present GEMS (Generic Energy Systems Modelling Schema)\, a high-level modelling language designed to make multi-energy system adequacy and planning studies both more expressive and more accessible. GEMS brings model definitions out of the codebase and into simple YAML configuration files\, where users describe variables\, parameters\, and constraints using natural mathematical expressions. These expressions are parsed into abstract syntax trees and automatically expanded into a complete optimization problem. This model-agnostic architecture enables rapid experimentation\, lowers development and maintenance costs\, and promotes true reusability: adding a new model requires no code\, only data. The language is already supported in Antares Simulator and in the Python package GemsPy.

SUMMARY:Accelerating Grid Digitalisation With Linux-based SEAPATH and Qualcomm Dragonwing - Jean-Jacques Adragna\, Qualcomm & Eloi Bail\, Savoir-faire Linux
DESCRIPTION:Utilities are engaged in a massive digitalization journey. A software-defined approach brings elasticity\, efficiency and evolution to installations that need to operate and evolve for decades. It also open new use cases\, like AI and IoT. \n \n This session shows how LF Energy SEAPATH combined with Dragonwing platforms delivers one common Linux foundation platform running on a diverse ARM-based portfolio\, from high-performance IQ9 and IQ8 Series down to low-power platforms. \n \n A key enabler is the mainline upstream strategy: support in the Linux kernel and surrounding projects and preliminary support is already available in the SEAPATH GitHub repository. This can improve integration cost and provides a sustainable path for timely security updates aligned with NIS2 and IEC 62443. \n \n The talk focuses on the capabilities utilities need first: real-time determinism\, bounded network latency for IEC 61850 SV/GOOSE and PTP time synchronization. Dragonwing also unlocks LTE/5G connectivity (including utility bands 450 MHz) and AI at the edge with NPU for anomaly detection to LLM-based operator assistants.

SUMMARY:AI-Audited: An Open Interface for Autonomous DER Agents on the Microgrid - Chris Xie\, Futurewei; Arila Barnes\, Energy IoT Open Source; Tony Shannon\, Office of Government CIO; Holger Blasum\, PVSmile
DESCRIPTION:We ran a comparative AI audit of the microgrid standards corpus — IEEE 2030.5\, IEC 61850\, CIM\, OpenADR 3\, ISO 15118\, IEEE 1547\, SunSpec — using Claude\, Mistral\, and a locally hosted model with identical prompts and metrics. This lightning talk shows the convergent findings: which clauses already cover AI-agent operation on DER\, where the gaps are\, and the v0 interface contract (GAIFARE) we drafted in the ORES repo to fill them — capability declaration\, bounded authority\, decision auditability\, data governance. Prompts\, metrics\, and gap map are public.

SUMMARY:TopRAO: Real-Time Combined Remedial Actions Optimization With ToOp and OpenRAO - Nico Westerbeck\, 50Hertz Transmission GmbH & Peter Mitri\, RTE (Réseau de Transport d'Electricité)
DESCRIPTION:Operating highly loaded grids in real time requires combining powerful topology optimisation with efficient handling of “linear” remedial actions. ToOp\, developed by 50Hertz\, is a state-of-the-art optimiser for topological measures\, going beyond the topology optimisation currently available in OpenRAO. \n \n In TopRAO\, we couple ToOp with the Powsybl-based OpenRAO toolbox: OpenRAO optimises linear remedial actions (PST\, redispatching\, counter-trading\, HVDC)\, while ToOp focuses on topological measures. Together\, they form a real-time-capable RAO engine for security analysis at TSO and inter-TSO level. \n \n This demo walks through an end-to-end workflow: importing network data\, running joint optimization of topology and linear actions\, and analysing resulting constraints\, actions and costs using open\, transparent components.

SUMMARY:One Measurement Layer\, Many Virtual Substation Functions: RTE and EcoPhi’s 400/225 KV Digital Substa - Ebrahim Balouji\, EcoPhi
DESCRIPTION:Transmission substations are expected to host more monitoring functions\, but each one adds hardware\, wiring\, panel space\, engineering effort and lifecycle cost. In EcoPhi’s 400/225 kV digital substation project with RTE\, the approach is one measurement layer supporting multiple virtualized applications. \n \n EcoPhi’s QMU 800 acts as the digital measurement layer\, sampling voltage and current signals at up to 2 MHz. The setup follows IEC 61869\, allowing substation signals to be digitized once and reused by software applications. EcoPhi’s CMPC 800 provides the edge platform where applications run in a virtualized environment using SEAPATH. \n \n This enables PQ monitoring\, PMU/synchrophasor functions\, PD monitoring\, digital fault recording and digital fault location to run as virtualized applications instead of separate devices. By decoupling measurement from applications\, the system reduces hardware duplication\, panel complexity\, copper wiring\, installation\, commissioning\, maintenance and lifecycle cost. \n \n The presentation will describe the RTE architecture\, IEC 61869 setup\, roles of QMU 800 and CMPC 800\, and lessons from preparing a transmission-grade virtualized substation.

SUMMARY:The Next Generation of Intelligent HEMS: A Self-Evolving Perspective - Rui Li & Xiaoke Yang\, EcoFlow Inc.
DESCRIPTION:Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) increasingly operate in non-stationary conditions: changing tariffs\, evolving household behavior\, new DER assets\, and fragmented device ecosystems. Most current deployments still rely on static rules and periodically retrained models\, which degrade under drift and are hard to maintain at scale. \n \n This session presents a self-evolving HEMS architecture that closes the loop across three core tasks: \n (1) classification for safety/reliability monitoring\, \n (2) regression for PV/load forecasting\, and \n (3) optimization that converts natural-language user goals into executable schedules. \n \n An LLM-centered orchestration layer coordinates rule engines\, ML models\, user/context memory\, and control APIs to support transparent interaction\, adaptive decision-making\, and continuous improvement. We share field-oriented case studies showing improved robustness in detection\, better forecasting performance\, and practical end-to-end scheduling execution. \n \n The talk focuses on reusable architectural patterns and deployment lessons relevant to open\, software-defined energy systems.

SUMMARY:CIM/CGMES in Real-time Knowledge Graphs for Modern Grid Control Systems - Arne Bernhardt\, SOPTIM AG
DESCRIPTION:Modern grid control systems require interoperable\, scalable\, and vendor-neutral data infrastructures. While CIM/CGMES has become the standard exchange format for power system models\, many implementations still treat it primarily as a file format instead of a semantic data platform. \n \n This session presents practical experiences from building modern utility control system components using RDF\, SHACL\, SPARQL\, Apache Jena\, and open-source tooling. We will show how semantic technologies can evolve from offline model exchange into high-performance\, real-time knowledge graph infrastructures for power systems. \n \n Topics include high-performance in-memory RDF graph processing\, SHACL validation for operational grid models\, lessons learned from Apache Jena internals\, and the development of open-source tooling such as RDFArchitect and OpenCGMES. \n \n The session shares real-world insights from developing software for transmission system operators and discusses how open semantic infrastructures can support interoperable and future-proof digital energy systems.

SUMMARY:Build With OpenGridFM: Synthetic Grid Data and Graph Neural Solvers in Practice - Alban Puech\, IBM Research - Zurich
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on tutorial introduces our end-to-end framework released through the OpenGridFM project\, enabling the development and deployment of GridFM models for steady-state grid analysis. \n Participants will work with notebooks to generate synthetic but realistic power-flow and optimal-power-flow datasets using gridfm-datakit\, including load variation\, generator-dispatch variation\, topology perturbations\, and configurable grid cases. They will then use gridfm-graphkit to train and evaluate GENCO\, a unified graph neural solver\, in a low-code environment and compare its performance against classical solvers. For advanced participants\, the tutorial will also explain how to implement\, integrate\, and benchmark custom model architectures using the framework and the provided benchmarking datasets. \n The tutorial is designed for power-system practitioners\, researchers\, and developers who want to contribute to OpenGridFM or apply its tools in their own workflows. No prior experience with the project is required\; familiarity with Python and basic power-system concepts is helpful.

SUMMARY:Open Substation: Building an Open Stack for Digital Substations - Guillaume Tucker\, gtucker.io
DESCRIPTION:Open Substation is an informal\, community-driven initiative to provide a full open-source software stack for Digital Substations. It is currently based on a handful of initial projects including SEAPATH (hypervisor) and OpenEnergyTools (IEC61850 implementation) with the aim to grow over time via new individual contributors and organisations. \n \n Electrical equipment vendors all have access to labs and facilities that enable them to deploy production-grade virtual protection functions in real grids. However\, these typically rely on key proprietary components and as such it's difficult for the general public to engage in an open-source way: academics\, startups\, enthusiasts... \n \n In this lightning talk\, we'll go through the steps that first led to the creation of Open Substation\, how it's filling the gaps in the stack and most importantly\, how you can take part. \n \n Find out more on https://open-substation.codeberg.page/

SUMMARY:LF Energy Smart HEMS-Benchmark Demo - Jawen Zhang & Edison Tuo\, EcoFlow Inc.
DESCRIPTION:This demo introduces Smart HEMS-Benchmark\, an open benchmarking framework for residential DER systems that is entering the LF Energy project onboarding process. It addresses a key gap in today’s ecosystem: the lack of transparent\, standardized\, and reproducible evaluation for HEMS performance across technologies\, regions\, and policy settings. \n We demonstrate an end-to-end workflow across three layers: (1) location and sizing assessment with long-horizon techno-economic analysis\, (2) HEMS algorithm benchmarking under standardized scenarios\, and (3) VPP participation benchmarking for grid-service and market-oriented use cases. The demo covers uncertainty-aware simulation (load\, PV\, price\, device behavior)\, multiple tariff models (fixed\, TOU\, dynamic)\, and policy regimes (e.g.\, net metering\, net billing\, non-export). \n By combining open datasets\, consistent metrics\, and repeatable pipelines\, Smart HEMS-Benchmark enables fair comparison from baseline strategies to advanced AI-driven control\, supporting both research and real-world deployment decisions.

SUMMARY:Automated Checks Before Publishing Open Source\, a Few Years Later - Nico Rikken & Leander van der Bijl\, Alliander
DESCRIPTION:At the LF Energy Summit of 2024\, Alliander’s OSPO team presented their internal process for preparing projects to be released as open source. One presentation highlighted the tooling and automation in place to review the codebase prior to open sourcing. \n \n After two years of working with this setup\, Alliander is improving the automation approach based on the lessons learned during this period. In this presentation\, the team of Alliander will share the new insights\, the planned improvements and the progress made so far: \n \n Teams now run the pipeline themselves\, rather than the OSPO. This required the policies to change to reduce the number of false-positives that would cause confusion. Ideally the automation could be run on the developer laptop and as an open source pipeline on pull-requests after becoming open source. In the meantime Repolinter is no longer maintained\, raising the question for revival or replacement. License review of dependencies still requires expertise of the OSPO given the number of false-positives. \n \n The OSPO SIG is the place to continue knowledge sharing and collaboration on this topic in the LF Energy community.

SUMMARY:Bridging the Gap: Advancing PyPSA as an Industry-Grade Open Energy Planning Framework - Fabian Hofmann\, Open Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:Open-source energy models are becoming increasingly important for transparent and reproducible energy planning. At the same time\, many institutions still rely on proprietary software for day-to-day planning and decision-making. Closing this gap requires more than open code. Open-source tools also need the functionality\, reliability\, and long-term support expected by industry users. \n \n This session presents the PyPSA-Taskforce\, a joint initiative by Technische Universität Berlin\, Università di Pisa\, and Open Energy Transition to strengthen PyPSA as a professional open-source tool for energy system planning. The Taskforce focuses on improving areas of PyPSA that are still missing or not yet mature enough for wider industry adoption. \n \n The project focuses on developing and integrating capabilities needed for real-world planning applications while maintaining the transparency and flexibility that make open-source tools valuable. At the same time\, it aims to move beyond the limitations of proprietary software by building a tool that can evolve openly with the needs of the energy transition.

SUMMARY:OpenEnergyTwin: Building Open\, Interoperable Digital Twin Infrastructure for DSO Grid Operations - Jürgen Meister\, OFFIS – Institute for Information Technology
DESCRIPTION:Distribution system operators (DSOs) must manage increasingly complex grids with renewable generation\, electrification\, sector coupling\, and active assets\, especially at the low voltage level. Today’s grid control systems\, however\, are often monolithic\, proprietary\, and hard to extend\, limiting interoperability and innovation. OpenEnergyTwin addresses this issue as an open source reference implementation for modular grid control systems. It provides a modular\, event-driven digital twin infrastructure\, capable of integrating all grid levels of a DSO\, thereby creating a runtime environment for next-generation grid control services\, including AI-based assistance and automation. The platform connects operational technology to a CIM-based digital twin core through flexible protocol adapters for topology\, measurements\, and state assessment\, and exposes standardized interfaces for HMIs\, alerting\, forecasting\, and control applications. Using publish-subscribe communication and CIM/JSON-LD\, OpenEnergyTwin enables event-driven\, standardized data exchange across all services. This talk presents key results of the research project\, in which the OpenEnergyTwin platform has been developed.

SUMMARY:Dynaωo for Large-Scale Power System Event Analysis: The 2025 Iberian Blackout - Marco Chiaramello; Gilles Aouizerate\, Joy El Feghali & Florentine Rosiere\, RTE
DESCRIPTION:On 28 April 2025\, continental Spain and Portugal experienced a total blackout\, while the rest of the European grid was largely unaffected. This most severe European blackout in over 20 years is analysed using a time-domain model of the Iberian system derived from an anonymised network snapshot. In its final report on the incident\, ENTSO-E’s Expert Panel identifies LF Energy’s Dynaωo\, an open-source\, industrial-grade suite of simulation tools\, as the basis for its independent voltage stability study. Simulations closely reproduce recorded measurements and clarify the roles of cross-border exchanges\, TSO-DSO interactions\, distributed renewable energy sources and limited reactive power margins in the voltage rise that triggered the cascade. The study highlights the value of relying on an open-source industrial tool and shows how Dynaωo has evolved into a robust\, high-performance solution. The presentation will detail the modelling and simulation approach\, key challenges\, and the main insights gained on the 28 April 2025 events\, demonstrating how Dynaωo delivers the level of transparency\, reproducibility and scientific rigour now expected for the analysis of major power system events.

SUMMARY:Mastering the Grid: How MCP & AI Make Power System Simulations Effortless - Jérôme Picault\, RTE (Réseau de Transport d'Electricité)
DESCRIPTION:Executing grid modelling and simulations like load flows\, N-1 analyses\, or sensitivity studies typically demands deep tooling expertise or custom scripting. What if grid engineers could drive these workflows directly in natural language - without sacrificing rigor or control? \n \n pypowsybl-mcp demonstrates an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes PowSyBl as AI-callable tools\, callable by any conversational UI or AI agent to perform grid modelling simulations. \n \n Our demo showcases a comprehensive TSO workflow driven entirely by natural-language prompts. Attendees will watch our AI agent dynamically orchestrate complex tool calls to execute: \n 1. Stress assessment: "Run an AC load flow\; show voltage violations" \n 2. N-1 security: "Run N-1 on 400 kV lines\; identify insecure contingencies" \n 3. Sensitivity: "Rank generators by impact on overload mitigation" \n 4. Remedial action: "Re-dispatch and re-run N-1" \n 5. Reproducibility: "Generate a Python script to reproduce this session" \n Results come from pypowsybl (accurate\, reproducible\, hallucination-free results)\, while the LLM handles orchestration only and adaptation of results to the expertise of the user.

SUMMARY:DT4Energy: Open AI-Driven Digital Twins for Energy Systems - DT4EC Use Case - Ferdinando Bosco\, Engineering Ingegneria Informatica Spa & Vincenzo Croce\, Engineering
DESCRIPTION:The increasing complexity of energy systems calls for new approaches to design\, develop\, and operate secure and interoperable Digital Twins across heterogeneous environments. \n Within the IPCEI-CIS AVANT project\, DT4ENERGY is developed as an open platform enabling the creation of Digital Twins for energy systems\, supporting real-time monitoring\, simulation\, and data-driven services. It provides a modular and extensible foundation for integrating distributed data\, models\, and applications\, while ensuring interoperability and enabling the scalable deployment of AI capabilities. \n In this session we present DT4EC\, a real-world implementation for Energy Communities\, demonstrating how DT4ENERGY supports operational use cases. DT4EC integrates Machine Learning models for day-ahead production and consumption prediction\, as well as self-consumption optimization\, combined with Generative AI services for KPI analysis\, explainability and decision support. \n By sharing implementation insights\, this session shows how open Digital Twin platforms can move from architecture to operation\, enabling secure\, interoperable\, and AI-driven energy applications\, with DT4EC as a concrete and validated example.

SUMMARY:How Grid Operators Can Unlock Asset Flexibility - Integrating FlexMeasures + OpenLEADR Via OpenADR - Nicolas Höning\, Seita Energy Flexibility & Nick van der Burgt\, ElaadNL
DESCRIPTION:OpenADR is a protocol to connect the grid to smart energy. Utilities send events to EMS & aggregators\, who adapt scheduling for their flexible assets to improve thr local grid situation. \n \n In this session\, we bring OpenADR to an actionable implementation\, fully based on open-source software (two LF Energy projects\, in fact!). We present a new plugin to the Cloud EMS FlexMeasures\, which enables FlexMeasures sites to receive OpenADR events (acting as an Virtual End Node or "VEN"\, in OpenADR terms). OpenLEADR is used to add such signals from the utility side (acting as a Virtual Top Node\, or "VTN"). \n \n The use case we present in this session is that a utility sends congested time slots on a daily basis to charge point operators in its network. This use case is currently being piloted in the Netherlands with OpenADR. \n We will show how utilities can enter and broadcast these congestion signals with OpenLEADR. The CPOs will take these dynamic limits into account in their optimized charge scheduling. We'll show how an existing behind-the-meter orchestration is built in FlexMeasures (where much more than "just" EV charging can be modelled)\, and how the new event will influence this planning.

SUMMARY:Presenting DyCoV - Streamlining Dynamic Model-validation and Performance Verification Using Dynawo - Jose Luis Marin\, AIA
DESCRIPTION:DyCoV (Dynamic Compliance Verification) is an Open-Source tool built by RTE for bringing transparency to the process of verifying grid-code compliance of the dynamic behavior of new generation facilities. It contemplates both *electric performance* (i.e.\, "does the behavior pass the requirements?") and *generic model validation* (i.e.\, "does the model match the actual behavior?"). \n \n The tool builds upon Dynawo\, RTE's Open-Source dynamic simulator\, which in turn uses Open Modelica for its RMS models\, including WECC and IEC generic models. This provides a fully transparent process for all stakeholders\, thus avoiding the pitfalls of proprietary models and black-box tools. In addition\, DyCoV removes the drudgery of measuring\, comparing\, and extracting all required KPIs from curves: rise/settling times\, FRT responses\, point-wise diffs\, etc. \n \n The tool is built with Python and structured as a series of independent tests\, each producing its own report in PDF. The current tests correspond to RTE's connection grid code (DTR document)\, but DyCoV design uses templating (Jinja) and configuration files to make it easily adaptable to other grid codes\, avoiding code changes as much as possible.

SUMMARY:Batch N‑1 Power Flow Via Perturbation Methods - Georg Mensah\, 50 Hertz/ Elia Group
DESCRIPTION:Modern AI for power flow and OPF is on the rise\, but it will still require large amounts of trustworthy training data and strong conventional solvers for validation (“solver‑certified AI”). An important application are adjacent‑state studies needed for N‑1 screening and decision planning. This session argues that classic algorithms will not vanish\, but must be redesigned for batch computation: solving many related grid states faster than repeated Newton-style runs. We reshape ideas from perturbation theory into a load-flow solver pattern that reuses structure across scenarios and maps well to parallelizable hardware. We introduce the key mathematics behind the approaches including the holomorphic embedding load flow method (HELM) and related methods. We then show how to turn them into an engineering workflow that can outperform repeated Newton-Raphson solves in high-throughput studies. We close with an open roadmap: an industrial‑grade implementation under development at 50Hertz/Elia Group and a clear invitation to collaborate on open interfaces\, benchmarks\, and integration with LF Energy tooling.

SUMMARY:Monitoring Communication Networks of Energy Grids With the Open-source Framework Malcolm - Jens Wiesner\, German Federal Office for Information Security & Klaus Hunsänger\, Federal Office for Information Security (BSI)
DESCRIPTION:While the world depends on the unimpaired generation and transmission of electrical power\, the systems controlling the critical services stay – from a security point of view – often in the shadows. Many assumptions of the past – especially in times of fast redispatch – need to be challenged\, and the communication systems have to be monitored more closely. You will learn from real world cases and successful attacks the necessity of looking deeper into the communication of every system to system of systems\, from substations up to the control room. The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) is supporting the usage of the Open-source Framework Malcolm in several ways\, and this talk will show you the benefits by adopting it.

SUMMARY:Pre-Packaging CRA and NIS2 Compliance: The SEAPATH Approach - Mathieu Dupré\, Savoir-faire Linux
DESCRIPTION:The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and NIS2 directive impose stringent cybersecurity obligations on industrial deployments\, leaving organizations to navigate complex requirements around vulnerability management and supply chain transparency. For LF Energy projects\, the challenge is to actively facilitate compliance for downstream users. \n \n Building directly upon the foundations presented at the LF Energy Summit 2025 regarding SBOMs and vulnerabilities in SEAPATH\, this session demonstrates how the project proactively addresses European regulations to alleviate the compliance burden on industrial users. \n \n We will detail the implementation of robust security practices: restricted reporting channels\, clear security governance guidelines\, and automated SBOM generation. Furthermore\, we will highlight the integration of VulnScout an open-source vulnerability analysis tool within SEAPATH’s CI pipeline for real-time tracking. Attendees will gain a clear blueprint of how open-source projects can deliver pre-packaged compliance artifacts.

SUMMARY:DC+: A Fast\, Voltage-Aware Alternative To DC Load Flow - Benjamin Petrick\, NEZK
DESCRIPTION:Grid operations are becoming fundamentally more complex. The classical DC load-flow worked well in the past\, but its simplifying assumptions are increasingly violated in modern grids with high renewables\, reactive power flows\, and tighter operational margins. \n \n DC+ is a voltage-sensitive linearization of the AC load flow that retains voltage magnitude\, angles\, and reactive power while remaining orders of magnitude faster than full AC solvers. \n Conceptually\, it corresponds to a single Newton step around the AC base case\, capturing the direction and severity of violations far more accurately than classical DC\, while scaling to millions of N‑1 evaluations per second on GPUs. \n \n DC+ enables a new class of scalable\, open optimization workflows: \n Potential use cases of DC+ are: \n - Fast contingency screening and ranking? \n - Topology optimization with voltage awareness? \n - Security constrained voltage Optimization?

SUMMARY:Decommissioning the Kill Switch:Securing the Energy Grid’s Software Supply Chain With Open Standards - Rossella Sblendido & Andreas Prins Prins\, SUSE
DESCRIPTION:The European energy grid's modernization embeds physical and digital "kill switches" within smart assets and their software supply chains. \n True digital sovereignty cannot be purchased as a proprietary product\; it is an ongoing operational discipline. In this session we will dissect how the principles of open source\, open standards\, and reproducible builds directly mitigate the risk of both physical and logical kill switches. We will move beyond the theoretical to explore the concrete architectural patterns required to build a "Sovereign Stack" for energy systems\, providing real examples. Specifically\, we will demonstrate how to enforce: \n Supply Chain Attestation: Generating and validating cryptographically signed Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) from source to production edge. \n Immutable and Reproducible Edge Environments: Ensuring that operating systems and container platforms deployed on grid edge nodes can be fully audited\, rebuilt from source\, and run completely air-gapped. \n Decoupled Control Planes: Architectural designs that separate software delivery from operational runtime\, ensuring that a vendor cannot unilaterally "kill the switch" on a running grid system.
