The mission of LF Energy's CoMPAS project is to develop open source software components related and examples/artifacts/SCL files related to IEC 61850 model implementation (profile management) and configuration of a power industry Protection Automation and Control System (PACS).

The project seeks to:

• leverage Leverage multi-vendor and multi-end-user development resources and 61850 competences to accelerate the development of common software blocks;
• promote topPromote/Evangelize top-down configuration processes and common model implementation choices (thus also accelerate the conformity to IEC 61850 through software implementation);
• deliver Deliver a production grade and reference implementation of the standard.
• Lower the barrier to adopt IEC 61850

The project strives not to duplicate works already carried out in standardization groups. When the rules and principles from the standard are not comprehensive enough or subject to interpretation or still work in progress, the project may have to take choices for the implementation. In such case it should strive to a configurable implementation.

Background

Due to the Energy Transition the use of power transmission and distribution grids is changing. The control architecture of power grids needs to be swiftly adapted to take account of infeed at lower grid levels, higher dynamics in flow patterns and more distributed controls (both internal controls and grid flexibility services from third parties).

...

The idea of the communication is to be as open as possible (open governance). This allows others to trace requirements and join relevant conversations (CoMPAS@lists.lfenergy.org | Calendar).

• If you are a potential (end) user, feel free to join the LF energy CoMPAS community calls. These are Q&A sessions to ask questions and check the progress (if interested), 
• The LF Energy slack channel will be the chat communications channel for the CoMPAS project. Look for the #compas channel
• High level and generic requirements and feature will be described in the architecture documentation here and on Github.
• Github issues will be used for technical issues and low level requirements/userstories.
• The mailing lists can be used for more formal communication:

Community call will be held bi-weeklyonce a month. CoMPAS refinements will be done every week (see calender).
