summary
LF Research with LF Energy, Futurewei and Intentional Futures publishes The Open Source Opportunity for Microgrids, claiming open source can accelerate microgrid adoption but is still nascent open source ecosystem; research uses 17 interviews with utilities and incumbents (Shell, RT, Alliander) and a utilities survey. Report defines five value propositions — five value propositions — (accessibility, modular design, interoperability, market innovation, new business models), shows rooftop-and-battery community microgrids work in pilots, and flags barriers: education, regulation, security, performance and vendor support.
