Open source is modernizing telecommunications, financial services, automobiles, healthcare, consumer products.
Power systems – this is our time. Open Source will speed technological innovation and enable the energy transition, globally.
2018 LF Energy Summit a Success
On October 24th, the first ever LF Energy Summit was held in Edinburgh, UK. The event brought together power system engineers with open source developers to start building a community of utilities, TSOs, DSOs, vendors, and other energy leaders dedicated to accelerating the global effort to transform the world’s relationship to energy.
LF Energy is a new Linux Foundation project that supports multi-vendor collaboration and open source innovation in the energy and electricity sectors. Our ambition is to accelerate the energy transition and the diffusion of renewable energy resources, including the move to electric mobility and the proliferation of demand response peripheral devices—all while modernizing and protecting the grid. We are excited to foster progress and a neutral shared environment in this important space.
LF Energy will host and nurture individual open source technologies. LF Energy members work together to advance these separate technical projects across the power systems and electricity lifecycle from transmission to distribution, generation, aggregation, and demand response.
We are always looking for developers to join our existing group of technical open source contributors. If you are interested in helping to transform the energy industry, and want to join a diverse and inclusive community, we encourage you to get involved. Anyone is invited to participate in the LF Energy technical projects; membership is not required to participate in LF Energy at this level.
Building open source technologies to help scale and speed the energy transition and the diffusion of distributed renewable energy resources is only possible with the generous support of members. Learn more about becoming an LF Energy member.
