- VILLASnode is highly recommended as it is a flexible gateway with several supported protocols (https://fein-aachen.org/en/projects/villas-node/) but it is not the only solution
- Alternative approaches that suit with the targeted SOGNO architecture are welcome
- pyvolt lacks meaningful logs from an electrical point of view:
- Usual suspect is the network topology (e.g. lack of slack bus)
- pintura service could be used to visualize the network with the purpose of topology-check
- Another test could be performed by importing the same network topology (given in CIM format) to another power flow simulator and see if it is working.
- Short term improvement plan:
- Try to reproduce the error(s) for futhere analysis of the problematic scenarios
- Users are encouraged to suggest solutions via pull request
- Usual suspect is the network topology (e.g. lack of slack bus)
- Endless loops that saturate system resources
- To manage this exception, areti introduced a threshold inside the pyvolt logic (pull request)
- Suggestion: pyvolt should be capable of running multiple islands in a single instance
→ The problems originating from network should be logged properly. Currently, it is difficult for non-electrical engineers to overcome such problems. This can put limits on the applicability of SOGNO services.
→ RWTH will look for funding opportunities to dedicate developer resources for improvement of logging.
- Microgrid flexbility management service --pymfm-- will be ported to SOGNO after official end of Platone project
- EV routing service --evrich-- will be ported to SOGNO soon
- Florian is working on network state visualization. It will be possible to see a colormap indicating the existing loading of network sections in real-time.
- August meeting will be cancalled due to low expeceted attendance

Francesco, Ciro, Alberto from ARETI working on the ADMS project
Gonca working on deployment of SOGNO as the DMS for Fraunhofer grid
...
- Goal: Run power flow and state estimation based on measurements
- Desired final view:
- SCADA provides measurements with 10-min updates
- Kafka handles message brokering in the CIM format
- Relevant microservice reads messages
...
- Are there reference implementations to show communication of formatted (e.g. in CIM) measurement/data between microservices and external components?
- → villas framework (https://villas.fein-aachen.org/docs/node/) provides references. In the past it was used to communicate measurement-placeholders (i.e. dpsim outputs)
- → dpsim-pyvolt demo (https://github.com/sogno-platform/example-deployments/tree/main/pyvolt-dpsim-demo) could be relevant
- Where should one develop new state estimation algorithms? → in pyvolt
...
- Monthly meetings will be kept at 4th Tuesday of every month
- Meeting time to be shifted to 4pm

Discussion & Action Items
...
Future collaboration opportunity with Shell. The represntative will be invited to the next TSC meeting.
...
William and Floria will offline to identify the optimum architecture to implement kafka in SOGNO.
In the future, SOGNO documentations and artifacts will be updated based on the needs of kafka extensions.
...
- William will clarifiy the institutional storage.
- Investigation of pyvolt's computation requirement (i.e., how much storage/CPU is needed to solve SE problems with X number of network nodes)
...
- Feedback from TAC review
- Pull request for FledgePower
- OpenSSF Best Practice Badge
- The running demo in OpenStack
| Open discussion | Only ACS participants. Current status and organizational points. Discussion about the PR received from Alliander. Pyvolt and the current Demo. |

Discussion Items
Item | Notes |
Experiences with Sogno | Some experience from Areti: Pyvolt is used with success. Had a small issue that was solved by limiting Iterations. |
| License Scan results | The results of the license scan were explained and what are the next steps. Add a notice in the Readme explaining the license of the Bitnami docker image. |
| Roadmap and Possibilities | We are open for contributors to add new services and fixes. Explanations on how to contribute were given (add users to repo, requirements such as sign-off commits). Pull requests are welcome. |
Related research projects | Explained the hackathon in cooperation with Alliander and how an integration between SOGNO and Power Grid Model was accomplished, the code can be found in the repository. Open Energy Twin is a new project proposal related to SOGNO and can be aligned with other requirements/user stories. |
| Organization | The SOGNO roadmap is being drafted by Florian and Fito |

...
Video documentation: A series of videos will be produced for certain SOGNO projects in Platone. Step-by-step starting from highest level (i.e., definition and prupose of the project) to lower levels (i.e., deployment details).
...
In Horizon EU project FLOW, RWTH is developing a routing service for electric vehicles (in charging hubs with multiple CPOs).
...
Kafka development aims to increase horizontal (between multiple SOGNO instances running at different nodes) and vertical communication (with other platforms e.g. FledgePOWER) capabilities of SOGNO.
There exist multiple Kafka offerings available. For SOGNO integration, a proper choise must be done. The priority is to avoid vendor lock-in. TO-DOs in this regard:
- William will initialize a document to list the message bus requirements and involve ARETI.
- Florian will look for pros/cons of available offerings.
...
- William will clarifiy the institutional storage.
- LF SOGNO will be presented in the next Technical Advisory Committe meeting.
