Introduction

CoMPAS is an open-source project that makes digital substations easier to configure and manage. It is built on the international standard IEC 61850, ensuring systems from different vendors can work together. This reduces complexity and cost, while creating a foundation for innovation in grid automation.

Why it matters

As energy systems become more dynamic, substations need to handle renewable integration, decentralised generation, and growing data flows. Substations are key locations to transport/distribute electricity. Insight in configurations is more and more imported to e.g. understand the measurement context. CoMPAS helps by automating configuration tasks and enabling standardised communication. The result: less engineering effort, fewer errors, and a grid that is ready for future challenges.

Key strengths

  • Standards-based

  • Datamanagement features

  • Open and transparent.

  • Vendor-neutral

  • Community-driven

Where it makes a difference

CoMPAS is applied in projects to:

·         Build an IEC 61850 based specification

·         Engineer substation configurations

·         Build vendor specific plug-ins

·         Validate IEC61850 configurations

·         Provide an open foundation to build solutions with less vendor lock-in.

·         Enable rapid prototyping and experimentation.

·         Facilitate collaboration with utilities and technology partners.

Getting Started

Explore resources and start building with CoMPAS:

 

Be Part of the Community

CoMPAS is more than software. It is a collaborative effort to make substation automation smarter, interoperable, and ready for the future. Contributions and ideas are always welcome.

 

·         Alliander logo

·         RTE logo

·         Digital Substation Automation Systems (DSAS[SJ2] ) loog

·         BearingPoint

·         TransnetBW

·         SprintEins

 

CoMPAS takes advantage of the OpenSCD ecosystem with the following contributors

·         Omicron Energy

·         Transpower

·         Meinberg

Can we use the logo’s for the folder?

RTE/Alliander/TransnetBW all agree with using the logo, @David Monichi (Bearingpoint) will check.

3-Status of contributions

  • Bearingpoint

    • Move the backend improments in the CoMPAS project

    • Improve the datbase service

    • Mirror the TransnetBW to the CoMPAS project

  • RTE

    • Debugging is almost done

  • Alliander

    • Create virtual IED’s

    • OpenSCD support dropped and moved to CoMPAS

 

4-Update md files in the repositories status check RTE

Can RTE do the same for their repositories?

Fix required files in the CoMPAS organsiation where Alliander is the code owner · Issue #195 · com-pas/compas-architecture

@Jean-Etienne LEMAIRE can you do the same for RTE? It’s done

 

5-Shared maintenance - update

Update one: How to we share the dependabot workload to stay current and secure?

Suggestion: once a month do a dependabot round and test a new release.

Criticals need to monitored and fixed sooner

David will contact the TransnetBW to see what their policy is. TransnetBW will ask patching policy

@Christian Ruopp vulnerabilities are checked often. @Sander Jansen will come up with a plan to share the workload.

 

6-Plug-in split status/plan

What are the idea’s to split TransnetBW repositories in collaboration with the CoMPAS project?

The plan is to mirror the transnetBW plug-ins into the CoMPAS organisation. By doing so, this respects the TransnetBW contract. Support the distributed way of development of plug-ins.

 

7-Architecture

Changes on CoMPAS after On-Site Meetup in Aachen - CoMPAS - Confluence

Does the TSC agree with the direction?

No concerns; we looking forwards to integrate the edit API from OpenSCD.

 

Do we want to participate?

improving SBOMs for LF Energy project

See 20251112 for the full e-mail I received

 

Reply from Sander “We (LF energy CoMPAS project) are concern with the overhead in participating in this project (beta testers). Based on this proposal, it is hard to judge.”

 

 8-Roadmap review/update

CoMPAS Roadmap

Roadmap updated

 

9-Open discussion

OpenSCD organization restructure status update; OpenSCD Repo migration cleanup plan · openscd/.github Wiki

The TSC discussed better ways to distribute the documentation. No action at this point.
