Technical Architecture Workshop – July 8, 2020

By Announcement, Blog

LF Energy is excited for the upcoming Technical Architecture Workshop that will be held virtually via QiqoChat on Wednesday, July 8, 2020 from 14:00 – 19:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST), UTC +2. Make sure you view the schedule and register. The workshop is free to attend.

This event is the culmination of three, 6 week architecture sprints where over 50 enterprise architects have met to work on the LF Energy functional, data, security, and technical architectures. Our intention is to create guidance for LF Energy open source projects and to identify areas for leveraged development that will enable accelerated innovation. 

We would like to welcome a broader community to participate and to engage in the conversation. This is a work in-progress as inputs and additional structure is clarified. Please make sure you explore the various workshop tracks. Each track is led by co-facilitators and represents many hundreds of hours in effort. 

We hope to see you there!

LF Energy Technical Architecture Workshop

By Announcement, Blog

LF Energy is excited to be hosting a Technical Architecture Workshop.

This workshop is a creative, online event geared towards enterprise architects, digital technology specialists, and developers. The goal is to share the work of the last four months in building and developing the technical, functional, security, and data architectures that will provide guidance and direction for the LF Energy community.  We are building and developing all of these assets in public and encourage your participation and comments. 

At the workshop, we will present work to date, and have multiple tracks on security, data architectures, using open source to build power system platforms, and 4 use cases: Asset Monitoring, CoMPAS, Digital Twins, VPP/Microgrids. There will be an opportunity at the workshop to add breakout rooms and interest groups on-the-fly. Bring ideas and your colleagues.
