LF Energy Summit Europe 2026

Synchronous generation retires and renewable, converter-interfaced resources increase, modern power systems face new operational challenges. High penetration of HVDC connections, large volumes of solar and wind generation are reshaping the grid. System operators need to modernize their control rooms. p-SWAMP (Power Stability Wide Area Monitoring Protection) provides an open extensible Research & Development for future Wide Area Monitor System (WAMS). A cloud-native, open-source platform where new concepts can be integrated and demonstrated to users in a setting mimicking actual control rooms. Statnett, the Transmission System Operator (TSO) in Norway uses an open -source collaboration platform called Statnett RnDP, serves as an integration platform for p-SWAMP, RnDP contains a timeseries database to hold Phase Measurement Unit Data, for analysis and simulate Kafka streams needed. RnDP offers Jupyter, Grafana and more user interfaces, the user can control their own pods. All run on Kubernetes cluster with Kyverno for policy control, Rook/Ceph for storage and Linkerd for network observability (MtM). Harbour for hosting images allows to use Trivy for vulnerability scanning.
