- SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- LF Energy, a Linux Foundation nonprofit seeking to accelerate the energy transition of the world's grids and transportation systems through open source, along with its newest member, Sony Computer Science Laboratories, Inc. (Sony CSL) , a subsidiary of Sony Corporation, announced today Hyphae, a microgrid initiative to automate the peer-to-peer distribution of renewable energy.
- With resilient, peer-to-peer microgrid energy trading, even the most remote communities will be able to store and distribute energy autonomously without connecting to large-scale power stations or electrical distribution networks.
- "By working with LF Energy, we see a path toward an interoperable, cloud-native, configurable microgrid that will revolutionize the world's relationship with networking energy," said Dr. Hiroaki Kitano , president and CEO of Sony CSL.
- LF Energy is currently looking to collaborate with hardware partners to ensure they create an entirely interoperable system.
