Building the World’s First Open Reference Code Base for SunSpec Modbus and IEEE 2030.5 - Erin Mahan, SunSpec Alliance

Wednesday September 16, 2026 16:30 - 17:00 CEST

Seebühne

This panel will explore the evolution of the world's first open reference code base for SunSpec Modbus and IEEE 2030.5, two communication standards now embedded in grid modernization efforts in several global regions. The discussion will examine how open-source development transformed these protocols from specification documents into deployable, production-grade software infrastructure used throughout the DER ecosystem.
Speakers will discuss historical developments of SunSpec interoperability frameworks and the emergence of open repositories like pysunspec2 and Open SVP, and the recent contribution of a production-hardened IEEE 2030.5 stack developed through commercial deployment experience. The panel will also address technical gaps, cybersecurity considerations, certification challenges, and the importance of collaboration in scaling interoperable energy systems.
