Keynote Panel: Open Source, Open Minds: Utility Perspectives on Digital Collaboration
summary
Three European TSOs describe concrete open source moves: RTE launches LF Energy work since 2018, sets up an OSPO and publishes code (notably the CPASS project), claiming real resource leverage and external contributors; 50Hertz builds an MCCS modular control center using Kafka patterns, pilots a plug‑and‑play module for monitoring and low‑frequency control with a one to 1.5 year horizon to prove trust; Swissgrid starts internal development, clears legal for contributions but stops short of public builds, and reports that open‑source loadflow/N‑1 comparisons already reveal legacy errors.
