LF Energy Summit Europe 2026

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?
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.
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.
