PowSyBl

PowSyBl (Power System Blocks) is an open source library dedicated to electrical grid modeling and simulation. PowSyBl is written in Java and licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. PowSyBl may be scripted for a quick solution, but it can also be used as a library to write complex software for power system simulation and analysis. Using PowSyBl, developers can create applications able to perform dynamic power flow simulations and security analyses on the network, handle a variety of formats including CGMES for European data exchanges, and many other tasks. PowSyBl has a completely modular design, enabling developers to extend or customize its features by providing their own plugins. Modularity is a key value of PowSyBl’s open source design.

SOGNO

SOGNO aims at facilitating the transition to a modular microservices based control center software solution. This allows operators to adapt faster because components can be updated more independently from each other. It provides system operators and automation software developers with an open source framework that exposes open APIs to plug in new automation functions and supports industry standards such as CIM IEC61970. The vision is to integrate today’s SCADA systems with SOGNO and gradually move functionalities into microservices.

CoMPAS

The CoMPAS project was formed as the first project in LF Energy’s Digital Substation Automation Systems (DSAS) initiative. The primary goal of the CoMPAS project is to develop open source software components related to IEC 61850 model implementation, specifically for profile management and configuration of a power industry Protection Automation and Control System (PACS). CoMPAS (Configuration Modules for Power industry Automation Systems is being developed using several guiding principles, including the use of cross-platform Docker-based microservices along with a lightweight browser client, multiple language support for the user interface, scriptable controls, and the ability to integrate third-party tools.

Grid Capacity Map

Grid Capacity Map is a project that aims to give customers and stakeholders public information about grid capacity and grid connection costs in different locations. The purpose is to give an early indication to customers that want to connect to the grid and to ensure customer and stakeholders expectations on-grid connections are realistic to give a better connection experience with fewer surprises for both grid owner (DSO/TSO), grid customers, and other stakeholders.
