Project Details

SEAPATH is an open source software hypervisor designed for IEC61850 Digital Substation Automation Systems. It has been designed and built as an industrial-grade solution dedicated to the critical context of digital stations, meeting the challenges of interoperability, standards compliance and cybersecurity constraints.

SEAPATH aims to host and run VPAC (Virtualized Protection, Automation and Control) applications for the power grid industry (and potentially beyond).

SEAPATH is a best-of-breed technology that combines open source components to create a robust, hardware- and software-agnostic solution that meets deterministic expectations (Real-Time) of its use-cases. The project has been developed according to OpenSSF best practices, and utilizes state-of-the-art continuous integration with over 700 daily tests to ensure, for example, that a VIED meets the desired criteria in terms of latency, determinism, and robustness.

SEAPATH is a collaborative project, bringing together a diverse community of experts spanning embedded Linux, IT, electrical engineering backgrounds, fostering IT/OT convergence.

SEAPATH is an acronym for Software Enabled Automation Platform and Artifacts (Therein). It is part of the LF Energy Digital Substations Special Interest Group.
