Democratizing Grid Intelligence for Developing Nations Through Linux-open-source Infrastructure
Talkat Open Source Summit India 2026 · on Wednesday, 2026-06-17· at 12:50· Jasmine Hall 2 (Level 3)·
summary
An open Linux/FOSS blueprint named Sonio core assembles modular services—network topology processor, probabilistic load forecast, online load flow, state estimator, Anarko voltage controller, network reconfiguration, auto‑recloser, service restoration and optimal power flow—containerized with Python, Docker, InfluxDB, Grafana and OpenDSS. Modules validate on IEEE 15‑bus and 33‑bus benchmarks and pilot installations (RWTH Aachen), achieve voltages within 0.95–1.05 p.u., reduce line losses and grid imports, and use a multi‑objective metaheuristic for capacitor selection in real time.
