Bringing the Industry Together Through LF Energy - A Power Grid Model Story - Peter Salemink, Alliander & Udo Schmitz, SOPTIM AG

Wednesday September 16, 2026 15:55 - 16:25 CEST

Waldbühne

Power Grid Model is a high-performance, open-source calculation library built for advanced distribution system analysis.

This joint presentation by Alliander and SOPTIM tells a story of open source collaboration and innovation between a Grid Operator and Vendor within the LF Energy Power Grid Model (PGM) project.

Alliander—maintainer of the Power Grid Model project—and SOPTIM—a key contributor—have met each other at a LF Energy summit, which has led to a productive partnership, including shared development efforts, knowledge exchange, and the introduction of new features that enhance the capabilities of the model.

Overall, the presentation provides a tangible example of how open collaboration within LF Energy can drive innovation, strengthen ecosystems, and accelerate the development of open-source solutions for the energy sector, while also diving into the technical part of new features that support the various use cases at Alliander and SOPTIM.
