Open Source Tools for Revealing the Way Towards Decarbonization
summary
Open source simulation openDSS now ships as an executable, a COM interface and a direct DLL, has about 158,000 downloads and 459 IEEE citations, and is being ported to C++ for broader cross‑platform development. France publishes ~1.5 million km of MV/LV lines after 2015–2016 laws and an Oré portal, but datasets disagree on primary substations (2,935 vs 2,204 vs 4,000), missing line/transformer specs and phase connections. A web app built from this open data predicts grid connection cost in three minutes versus DSOs’ typical three‑month €5,000 process.
