From the operation of electricity grids to the forecasting of renewable energy production, through the interoperability of distributed energy resources and demand-side flexibility, INESC TEC has been strengthening its commitment to developing open-source solutions for the energy sector. Currently, three open-source projects are part of the Linux Foundation Energy ecosystem — one of the most relevant international communities dedicated to the development of open-source software for energy systems — whilst a fourth technological output is already being used by the Elia Group, operator of the electricity systems in Belgium and Germany.
