Technical working groups are organized underneath the Technical Advisory Council in order to perform detailed work in a specific area. Working groups generally work on a specific aspect of the functional architecture. They may have a specific deliverable and can make suggestions on existing projects or propose projects.
Working group chairs or leaders report up to the TAC, but do not vote on TAC business.
Working groups are distinct from Projects, which create software or services, and Special Interest Groups, which meet regularly for discussions but do not have a specific charter.

| Digital Substation Automation Systems (DSAS) | The design of the new DSAS requires a higher level of modularity, interoperability, and scalability compared to previous generations. Open source collaboration is an essential part of meeting those requirements in a cost-efficient way. | |
RTE initiated an internal project aiming at replacing an aging asset monitoring system and paving the way for a shift from preventive maintenance to predictive maintenance. | ||
| Digital Twin | Validate an IoT approach that is compatible with a Blockchain architecture and running on the edge of a distributed cloud environment for a smart energy “System of Systems” | |
| Architecture: Infrastructure & Cloud | ||
| Microgrids AC/DC/Hybrid | The Microgrid is in a community-building exercise to identify language and approaches. Right now we are looking at a number of open source implementations to understand the pros, cons, and various use-cases. Come join this group! We are open to new participants. | |
| Supply-Chain Security/DBoM | This SIG is looking to stand-up a proof of concept for supply-chain attestation. Broad group of vendors, suppliers, OEMs, security folks, and utilities. | |
| E-Mobility SIG | This is SIG is just starting November 10th, 2020...come help us define the future of the open source parts of e-mobility and V2G |
