01Open projects

What this community builds on.

Open hardware, software and data projects, named as references. Each keeps its own licence and its own governance.

  • NREL SAM
  • OpenOA
  • OpenEMS

02Open methods and templates

Every calculation, with a worked example.

Observatory templates for this industry, each a starting design you can read, run and adapt on the open protocol.

Template

Bankable solar and wind resource station

A met mast or lidar with secondary-standard pyranometers and a traceable calibration chain, for a measurement campaign lenders accept.
Template

Remote microgrid observatory

Solar, storage and power-quality telemetry with a weather station and a small cell, for a community that is reducing diesel.
Template

Utility grid-edge private LTE and wildfire weather

Private LTE on substations and poles for distribution automation, with weather nodes that inform public-safety power shutoff decisions.
Template

Wildfire camera and fire-weather node

Pan-tilt and thermal cameras with edge inference on a ridgeline tower, co-located with a fire-weather station.

03Open data

Networks on the grid, with their licences.

The open observing networks on the grid, each shown with its source and licence, and the protocol that lets new ones join.
