Overview
As distributed energy resources (DER) continue to scale across Europe to meet rising energy demand, one critical challenge remains: ensuring seamless interoperability between modern grid platforms and the vast installed base of legacy DER devices. IEEE 2030.5 has emerged as the leading protocol to bridge this divide, enabling secure, standardized communication across diverse energy ecosystems.
In this webinar, experts from the InterSTORE project will explore how innovative protocol conversion architecture enables legacy systems using Modbus and MQTT to communicate natively through IEEE 2030.5, ensuring compatibility with modern grid control platforms. Attendees will gain insight into how native IEEE 2030.5 libraries and protocol converters were successfully integrated into real-world renewable energy communities, creating a unified, standards-based framework for DER coordination across Europe.
The session will also highlight how SunSpec-aligned IEEE 2030.5 testing frameworks were deployed in cloud and hybrid environments, allowing geographically agnostic validation of DER devices without reliance on fixed laboratory infrastructure. This flexible testing model accelerates certification, simplifies maintenance, and enables rapid deployment of new DER integration scenarios, demonstrating how standards-driven interoperability is moving from theory to operational reality.
