LF Energy TROLIE is a community project developing an open source specification to address FERC Order 881, which requires North American transmission owners, operators, providers, and reliability coordinators to establish a means to exchange ratings information based on current and forecasted ambient conditions. The initiative was launched due to the absence of a dedicated standards body or vendor consortium actively working towards a technical specification for this critical exchange.
The TROLIE community is proud to announce that version 1.0.0 of the TROLIE specification has been published. At a high level, the specification facilitates the frequent exchange of power system ratings information, data needed to reliably operate the bulk power transmission while maximizing the utilization of existing transmission asset capacity. By creating a standard way for utilities to exchange this data, TROLIE promotes interoperability, supporting robust and reliable coordination between grid operators.
Licensed under the open Community Specification License 1.0, TROLIE 1.0.0 is available for use by all stakeholders immediately.
The next phase of the project is integration and testing of TROLIE implementations, and it is anticipated that this will uncover necessary updates to the specification, including identifying minor bugs in the specification.
The TROLIE community is open and welcoming to new participants. Get involved by contributing to the project GitHub repository, subscribing to the email list, and joining the Slack channel (#trolie).
