Development of open source software components for

Microgrids to solve for network resilience, power quality, efficiency, stability, reliability and investment optimization when connecting Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) / Distributed Energy Generation (DER).

Development of Currently, we are reviewing software multiple open source software components for Virtual Power Plant (VPP) and Neighborhood Microgrids to solve for network resilience, power quality, efficiency, stability, reliability and investment optimization when connecting Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) / Distributed Energy Generation (DER).microgrids for use cases and interoperability. The intention is to chart a plan for 2021. Please join us.

The group is meeting bi-weekly at 4:00p PT. Please check the calendar for meeting information.
