Announcement

Robert Tusveld, Solutions Architect at Dutch distribution system operator Alliander, introduces Grid eXchange Fabric (GXF), an LF Energy project. Robert will offer an overview of GXF’s history, followed by a deep dive into the technology along with use cases, and a Q&A session at the end.

Formerly known as the Open Smart Grid Platform, Grid eXchange Fabric (GXF) allows you to monitor and control hardware in the public space. With several (generic) functions ready to use, the main benefits of GXF are: scalability & high availability, high security, its generic design, and no vendor lock-in. GXF has several working use cases, including microgrids, smart metering, public lighting, and distribution automation.

Register in advance and join us for the webinar on April 21, 2020 at 6pm CET, 9am PDT. See you there!

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the LF Energy Global Summit 2019 in Paris, France. The event was a huge success in bringing together luminaries from the open source and energy communities.

Of course this would not have been possible without generous contributions from our sponsors: CNCF, RTE, Vanderbilt University, the National Renewable Energy Labs, and the FREEDM Center at North Caroline State University.

In addition, every single speaker contributed their time, energy, and wisdom to make this event a success, and we thank you from our hearts. As Shuli says: Part of the value of being associated with the Linux Foundation and the open source community is that on principle, we are a group who fundamentally believes in the power of together. Indeed, if we as an industry can continue to ask for help and insights from such brilliant and legendary practitioners, we will be able to achieve decarbonization, because we will be able to go faster with their help. Much thanks to all.

Presentations from the event can be found on the presentations page. We are working on the recorded videos, which should be available soon.

LF Energy welcomes Alliander, the largest electricity company in the Netherlands. Alliander consists of a group of companies, among them Liander, Qirion and Kenter, which together represent an expertise in energy networks, energy technology and technical innovations.

Alliander has joined LF Energy as a Premier Member, which also gives them a seat on the LF Energy Governing Board and Technical Advisory Committee.

LF Energy and RTE announce the LF Energy Global Summit
at La Défense, Paris, November 4-5, 2019

This first-of-its-kind event for power system operators and their vendors showcases collaborative development and shared innovation intended to accelerate the energy transition and lead us towards 100% decarbonization by 2050.

The Summit begins at 1pm on November 4 with a host of keynotes, including Mechtild Wörsdörfer from IEA, Olivier Grabette from RTE, Nithya Ruff from the Linux Foundation & Comcast, Sean Couglan from OpenChain, Dan Kohn of CNCF, and a host of other powerful speakers, followed by an evening event. The conference follows on Tuesday with an educational session on open source from leaders in the open source community – longtime open source program officers, community managers, and thought leaders in security, intellectual property, and more. We will spend the late morning and remaining day focused on LF Energy projects and building awareness of the emerging LF Energy stack.

This event has limited seating, so please register early. Registration is now open at the event website for 300€. More information is available on the LF Energy Global Summit web page.

Sponsorships for this event are still available. If you would like to help but don’t have the funds to support at a sponsorship level, you can donate any amount using our CommunityBridge link.

Note: We are also organizing a project working day on November 6th for all LF Energy projects. More details will be published as they become available.
