1 A global open source ecosystem for power systems

2 Fostering the digitalisation of energy The energy sector is meeting the global challenge of climate change by embracing decarbonisation, decentralisation, and digitalisation. Digitalisation is key to creating a grid that can foster a transition to a low-carbon energy future. 2

3 The need for safe, shared, scalable code No single entity can create, test, and scale the code necessary to bring this new grid to life. We propose that, like other industries, we turn to open source. Most industries today run primarily on open source code modules, with open standards and open APIs that can be leveraged, built on, tested and enhanced by a global community of software developers. Open source provides a proven framework for collaborations, innovation and transparency Open source supports business agility, while preserving IP, by standardizing, routinizing, and removing competition for shared components. Open source code is more flexible, cheaper, and safer than any alternative. Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow. Linus s Law 3

4 Accelerating the move Capitalizing on the itesla experience, RTE is determined to pursue and expand open source approaches for the development of our power system software Beyond PowSyBl, additional source codes will be released in the coming weeks E.g. release of the source code of Antares in June

5 The start of an ecosystem RTE is contributing several significant projects to The Linux Foundation as the beginnings of an open source ecosystem for TSOs, vendors, and other energy sector stakeholders: 1. «OperatorFabric» An extensible and flexible grid operations platform that provides strategic management of information with a modular approach to applications, easy-to-add new functionality, and open APIs 2. Let s Coordinate A extension based on «OperatorFabric» that enables organizational power system coordination, visibility, communication, and workflow between actors (e.g., across national and regional boundaries) 3. PowSyBl Reusable modular components of a high-performance computing platform that enables grid modeling (e.g., CGMES) & simulation in a highly distributed energy resource environment from system expansion studies to planning and operation 5

6 Why The Linux Foundation? We believe the Linux Foundation represents the best possible home for this initiative. The Linux Foundation (LF) provides a neutral home for an electricity sector shared investment to address the open source, information and communication technology (ICT) components of the energy transition. The Linux Foundation is the indisputable leader in open source. LF hosts many of the most important open source projects in the world, including Linux. With hundreds of companies backing tens of thousands of active developers, LF projects harness the power of open source development to fuel innovation at unmatched speed and scale. LF is home to some of the foremost cybersecurity experts in the world. 6

10 The Linux Foundation s goal is to create the greatest shared technology investment in history by enabling open source collaboration across companies, developers and users. We are the nonprofit organization of choice to build ecosystems that accelerate open source technology development and commercial adoption on a global scale.
