Open Substation: Building an Open Stack for Digital Substations
summary
Open Substation builds a runnable open-source stack for digital substations by combining SEAPATH hypervisor, OpenEnergyTools IEC61850 (Rust, Apache‑2.0) and a dev kit with OSDK to deploy CPath in a nested VM on a laptop. The Rust library decodes sample values, encodes GOOSE and handles MMS; a live demo prints decoded samples in a VM. Real‑time nested VM issues remain, and the project seeks contributors, TSO/DSO sponsorship and engineering time to harden reference virtual protection functions for real grids.
