How Open Source Is Helping Fight Climate Change
summary
Alliander runs nearly six million customer connections across 90,000 km of electricity lines and uses open source to avoid turning new customers away when local capacity peaks. It deploys opensef to make 24–48 hour local load forecasts and the powergrid model project for loadflow and state estimation so operators can simulate curtailment or price signals for congestion management and choose the least costly action that keeps the grid safe.
