Akkudoktor-EOS - Build optimized energy management plans for your home automation
<p><a href="https://github.com/Akkudoktor-EOS/EOS">Akkudoktor-EOS</a> (Energy Optimization System) is an open-source platform designed to generate highly optimized energy management plans for home energy management systems. Initially developed by Dr. Andreas Schmitz (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Akkudoktor">“Akkudoktor”</a>), EOS has been publicly available for just over a year and has already built a community of users who integrate it into their home automation environments.</p>
<p>At its core, EOS is a self-hosted server that calculates optimal schedules for batteries, electric vehicles, and household devices. These plans are derived from user configuration, real measurement data, and automatically retrieved or self-generated forecasts. EOS focuses on long-term optimization over a day or longer. The home automation system manages short-term control. Together, they combine strategic planning with real-time execution, delivering the best of both worlds in home energy management.</p>
<p>Common applications include optimizing consumption under dynamic electricity tariffs, ensuring cost-efficient EV charging, shifting flexible loads to cheaper periods, and connecting seamlessly with systems such as Home Assistant or NodeRED.</p>
<p>EOS stands out through its genetic algorithm, enabling optimization of any behavior that can be simulated—without the limitations of linear or convex models. Non-linear battery degradation, grid-stress signals, comfort models, or heat pumps with non-linear COP fields can be used directly, without artificial simplification. This makes EOS highly modular and flexible, allowing new components or physical models to be added and immediately included in the optimization.</p>

<p>In France, thanks to the deployment of 37 million Linky smart meters, a vibrant open-source community has emerged, developing smarter, greener, and more open energy-management systems powered by Linky’s locally emitted data. Enedis, the main French DSO, now works alongside this community to accelerate the use of its meters’ data for the energy transition. Open hardware, open software, open data—all of this is key to meeting the challenges !</p>

<p>Presenting the Energy System Description Language (ESDL) open-source community, which is currently being built around the open standard ESDL and the ecosystem of open-source tools that work with ESDL. There is a dozen tools that are being used by several companies and initiatives to design energy hubs, heat networks and develop scenario's to best integrate new battery, hydrogen, solar and wind assets within grid with limited available capacity.</p>

<p>Optimally planning the energy flows across multiple sites becomes more important, e.g. for orchestrating the aggregated flows due to grid congestion, or for implementing energy sharing. This approach can break bottlenecks and increase savings - as such, energy communities are an important topic for the European Commission.</p> <p>In this talk, we present our ongoing work towards a Community Energy Management System (CEMS) with FlexMeasures. We discuss our architectural approach: optimizing ...

<p>Solar energy is predicted to be the largest form of power generation globally by 2040 and having accurate forecasts is critical to balancing the grid. Unlike fossil fuels, renewable energy resources are unpredictable in terms of power generation from one hour to the next. In order to balance the grid, operators need a close estimate of when and how much solar and wind power will be generated on a given day. </p> <p>Open Climate Fix (an open source AI company) developed and deployed PVNet, a ...

<p>Storing energy reversibly is useful. For clean energy, electrochemical batteries are one of the most attractive options. Most battery technology is proprietary, hard to recycle, and complicated to manufacture. What if that wasn't the case?</p> <p>We will present our collective and individual efforts with the Flow Battery Research Collective (https://fbrc.dev/) to build open-source batteries for stationary storage applications. This includes our flow battery work, such as efforts to build a ...

<p>As a student in electronics, I was already passionate about renewable energy. Then after many years of open-source software development, I am now finally starting to engage with the Energy community. By attending various events, meeting a whole range of inspiring people, hacking around existing projects and completing a <a href="https://gtucker.io/tags/energy/">blog posts</a> series on Digital Substations and <a href="https://lf-energy.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SEAP/overview">SEAPATH</a>, I ...

<p>Standards like OCPP and ISO 15118 describe how EV charging should work, yet real-world deployments often behave differently. This session explains why a full stack of tools, testing methods, and feedback loops is essential for true interoperability, and how the open-source EVerest ecosystem has become a practical integration point for these technologies. We will show how Software-in-the-Loop testing, Golden SUT validation, conformance tooling, virtual charger parks, testing-hackathons, and ...
