Open source in smart energy – principles, opportunities & examples

Nicolas advises you to not bet against Open source software in managing smart and flexible energy systems. After all, open source is driving innovation in other parts of the digital world like databases or machine learning ― why not in energy? Open source and open standards make long-term strategy easier and can save costs. Eco-systems around open source smart energy are emerging, with some bigger names joining, as well. With Seita Energy Flexibilty, Nicolas has spent multiple years in this growing niche. He will narrate their own journey in open innovation, including the recent implementation of FAN's open protocol for energy flexibility. In addition, Nicolas will list several other project examples in open source smart energy software.
