Open Source Summit India 2026

Developing countries face increasing renewable integration, ageing power grid infrastructure and dependence on proprietary energy management systems. This session presents an open, Linux‑powered blueprint for future-ready power grids built entirely on FOSS principles. Aligned with Shell’s inner‑source philosophy, the approach demonstrates how shared innovation, standardized interfaces and reusable components accelerate scalable grid intelligence. Leveraging the LF Energy ecosystem—extending critical modules for load forecasting, system‑state estimation, load flow, voltage control and fault restoration for electric power grids—the architecture shows how community‑driven development reduces vendor lock‑in, lowers deployment costs and enables rapid iteration. For emerging economies such as India, this model illustrates how open collaboration strengthens energy resilience while advancing secure and efficient digital infrastructure to support long‑term energy transition goals.
