Keynote: Delivering Flexibility Through Open Source

on YouTube ↗10m

" summary

Utilities face a practical pitch: use open source to share the digital stack for capacity management so forecasts turn into actionable power‑flow calculations and control sequences. Alliander cites OpenSTEF and the Power Grid Model as working building blocks, points to 10,000 customers waiting and a €10–14 billion annual economic drag, and recalls a 4.5‑day blackout that left 2,200 businesses and about 100,000 people offline. The claim is that collaborating on common code reduces duplication, speeds deployment, and makes flexibility operable rather than theoretical.
