Try a free demonstration of the LF Energy CDS project.
Utilities and other central entities (TSOs, ISOs, etc.) can create a demo CDS Server where they can test out connections from external vendors, customers, AI agents, apps, and third party service providers.
Customers, service providers, app developers, and other external entities can register a test CDS Client with an existing demo CDS Server to try out the CDS registration process and data APIs.
The Connected Data Specifications (CDS) project by the nonprofit Linux Foundation Energy (LF Energy) focuses on writing free, open specifications that define how utilities and other central entities (e.g. ISOs, DSOs, statewide data hubs, etc.) can offer secure, digital, standards-based connectivity to external third party companies and applications.
As the grid evolves and transitions, scalable connectivity is required with external vendors and new technologies to ensure continued grid flexibility, reliability, and stability. The CDS project provides a free, open framework of protocols that utilities and other central entities can implement to make it easy for external companies, customers, and applications to discover, register, and establish connectivity for the digital communications they need.
Learn more about these specifications: https://cds.lfenergy.orgAs part of its support of these open specifications, DRX Gateway operates a demonstration platform that implements the CDS specifications to show utilities, central grid entities, regulators, governments, enterprise customers, vendors, app developers, and energy service providers how easy it is to use the specifications in practice.
DRX Gateway provides an easy-to-use and production-ready implementation of CDS that helps utilities, enterprise customers, and third party vendors securely connect and exchange data in a standards-compliant way.
