In order to growth the open source community around LF energy CoMPAS. Multiple things can be done. This page should provide a plan to growth the CoMPAS community.
LF energy CoMPAS community growth can help us to bring:
The plan will be split in several parts; improvements are always welcome.
The project tries to release every 2 weeks. Some work requires more time (e.g. refactoring).
See CoMPAS Roadmap for more details on the features.
CoMPAS is ment for all parties that deal with 61850 SCL configurations including:
Utilities (TSO, DSO) => E.g RTE and Alliander
Vendors => E.g Omicron, GE
Integrators => E.g. TBI, SPIE, etc
CoMPAS is highly focused on implementing the configurations parts of IEC61850. IEC 61850 is maintand by WG10 of the IEC.
Getting the word out to IEC WG10 will help to promote the project.
