This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

State Auditor 2011 Report
The Washington State Auditor’s Office performed a K-20
Educational Network activity assessment in response to 2010
legislative questions:
Does the K-20 Network continue to serve the purpose for which
it was created?
What does the Network cost, and what would be the impact if it
were eliminated?
Are there more cost effective ways to achieve the objectives of
the Network?
State Auditor result:
“We conclude the Network remains a valuable, cost-
effective state asset and recommend the institutions
that created the Network in 1996 design a strategy to
reach its full potential in the future.”

So what does that mean for K-20?
• Ongoing upgrades:
• Backbone upgrades as needed
• Upstream upgrades as needed
• Transition to Ethernet on tail circuits from TDM
• Tail circuit bandwidth upgrades
• Continual service improvement in operations
• OSS
• Trouble ticketing and support analytics
• Service Desk training

New Services: Layer 3 VPNs
• Permits organizations to route private addressing to other
organizations within the “VPN” – internally or externally to
any particular member of K-20
• Can be managed by the end user or by K-20 engineering
• Adds flexibility to the way that our members connect to each
other
33. 32
New Services: Layer 2 VPNs
(approximately 2015)
• Enables K-20 participants to establish a “state-wide” layer
2 mesh over the K-20 backbone
• End-user controls the routing or devices on the network
• K-20 network treats incoming traffic like a giant state-wide
switch
• Useful for organizations that need advanced routing
features and functionalities or advanced transport
34. 33
New Services: Virtual Layer 2 Circuits
• Enables K-20 participants to bring up point-to-point virtual
circuits between one another utilizing their existing
bandwidth allocation
• Useful for establishing direct routing relationships between
organizations
• May be used to arrange external connectivity via K-20
