More consumers and corporations want to know the carbon footprint of the companies they do business with, and businesses are buying more renewable energy in response. But it’s no longer enough just to buy and use renewables. The pressure is on companies to also understand the carbon impact of those purchases. That’s where FlexiDAO comes in.…
In December 2021 and January of 2022, LF Energy members along with OpenForum Europe convened a group of stakeholders to respond formally to a request for public consultation by the European Commission.
The destructive forces of climate change continue to build, but 2022 will be the year—must be the year—that we all absorb that fact and begin the process of transformation. This year, the planet and businesses will begin to go “all in” in terms of trying to understand what it means to decarbonize, predicts Shuli Goodman,…
The modern grid will depend on good communication between utilities, customers, and devices. For instance, utilities need to tell a customer that renewable energy is available, so fire up that EV charging station. Or, customers, network conditions require you to turn your thermostats down to avoid bringing on a fossil-fuel peaker-plant, or black outs.
Electricity is electricity and it shouldn’t be this hard. But EV charging technologies are all developed by different companies, all of whom create software on their own and interpret the standards differently.
LF Energy, the open source foundation focused on the power systems sector, welcomes EVerest, an open source software stack designed to establish a common base layer for a unified EV charging ecosystem, as its 13th incubating project.
A fundamental part of meeting the objectives of the United Nations Climate Conference will depend on the acceleration of power system network transformation. As it stands today, future targets will not be met, complicated by the fact that clean energy initiatives such as renewable energy and electric vehicles cause increasing fluctuations in power supply and…
Key to substation automation is LF Energy’s Configuration Modules for Power Industry Automation Systems (CoMPAS) project, announced in 2020. CoMPAS should enable grid operators to manage the transition to clean energy by better handling fluctuations in supply from renewable resources and demand from electric vehicles.
As the world begins considering how to move forward after COP26 the role of distribution, transmission, and energy service companies will become critical in decarbonizing power systems and insuring a smooth transition to electric mobility and away from gas, coal, and other fossil-fuels.
FledgePower is a reference project within LF Energy that is built on top of LF Edge's Fledge - an industrial IoT gateway. What we believe is important and unique about FledgePower is that rather than starting from scratch, the LF Energy and LF Edge developer community added a power systems use case on top of…
Gain a seat at the table to influence the strategic direction of LF Energy and the projects that will shape an industry for millennia.
