What is FledgePower ?
FledgePOWER is a multi-protocol translation gateway for power syst= ems based on the industrial IoT LF Edge project Fledge.= p>
As power systems transform to include increasing onboarding of ren= ewables, electric vehicles, assets at the edge, or behind the meter, networ= k operators must be able to monitor and interact with substation equipment = where a high-volume of data is exchanged with a high-velocity of change. Th= ese exchanges require real-time, efficient, robust, and secure communicatio= ns.
Telecontrol protocols are used at many levels of the system: local= ly, at various connection nodes of the network, at a central level, and at = the interface with network operations. Typically, the proliferation of prot= ocols do not share the same specifications, but they often are handling sim= ilar data. Implementing new protocols is costly, can create technical debt,= and is time-consuming. To manage this heterogeneous environment, the multi= -protocol and evolving protocol phenomena lead operators to run deprecated = protocols, as a legacy, for decades. With the speed of change increasing, n= etwork operations become increasingly complex, less flexible, and ultimatel= y are expensive to operate. Having the ability to abstract this complexity = of protocols with FledgePOWER will offer power system network operators new= tools in a rapidly transforming environment.
FledgePOWER solves the problem of multiple protocols translation b= y providing the industry with a flexible, lightweight, industrial-grade, op= en source gateway that embeds Fledge (LF EDGE). Additionally, Fl= edgePOWER provides a toolbox for simulation, data configuration, and checki= ng focused uniquely on power systems=E2=80=99 protocols translation and pow= er systems=E2=80=99 use cases.
FledgePOWER is a cross foundation collaboration between LF Edge an= d LF Energy that ensures strong cooperative governance and technical alignm= ent between the two communities.
Moreover, FledgePOWER aims to build and grow a community of end-us= ers, developers, utilities, and other players to collaborate to solve curre= nt and future challenges in the energy space.
