Join the Power Grid Model community online or in Delft, the Netherlands, for an exciting day of sharing experiences, learning from each other, planning, and collaborating.
Join the Power Grid Model community for an exciting day of sharing experiences, learning from each other, planning, and collaborating.
This hybrid in-person/online event will include a full day agenda, with the opportunity to socialize afterwards for in-person attendees. We'll share more details as we finalize the agenda.
If you'd like to give a lightning talk (presenting 10 minutes or less) or have a hackathon proposal, tell us when you register!
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2025.
An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
For attendees joining us in person, the event will conclude with a social networking session accompanied by refreshments.
Please note that the morning session is mainly for developers. To get the most out of the breakout sessions, some advance preparation may be necessary.
The afternoon session is open to everyone.
9:30 - Walk-in + coffee
10:00 - Opening for the morning session
10:15 - Breakout sessions:
PGM-DS workshop: Join us for an interactive, hands-on session where you'll solve a real-world problem using the PGM-DS project. This session is designed to showcase the versatility and user-friendliness of PGM-DS. You'll work with a realistic use case, utilizing dummy data to explore the full capabilities of the project in a practical, engaging way.
“Let’s contribute” hackathon: Join us for an exciting hackathon session where you'll collaborate with the Power Grid Model maintainers to work on new contributions to the project. This hands-on experience will allow you to directly impact the development of PGM, as you tackle real challenges and make meaningful contributions alongside experts in the field.
