E3 OSE
Free, vendor-agnostic software, low-cost hardware, live operational datasets, and classroom-ready curriculum for the technicians and engineers building the grid of the future, built in the open, governed for the long term, and now being hardened against the exact vulnerabilities the energy sector is discovering the hard way.
Everything a program needs to teach the modern grid.
Every product ships open, documented, and free to adapt, and every faculty member who uses it can help build the next one.
IV Curve Tracer
Hardware, software, labs, curriculum & data
Everything is designed to be used together or independently, and every product ships with the classroom materials to teach it.
- Vendor-agnostic software platforms
- Low-cost open hardware, IV curve tracers, controllers & more
- Turnkey lab kits and bench-scale trainers
- Instructor guides, lesson plans & test banks
- 4,000+ GB open live and historical field dataset
Put your platform in front of our AI Agent.
Every open-source hardware design in the ecosystem is now run through an AI-assisted bill-of-materials and circuit-image review, then validated in a live cybersecurity sandbox, built with CSSIA and NCyTE, before it's cleared for classroom use.
- Flags unauthenticated firmware paths & exposed debug ports
- Checks for hardcoded credentials & unvetted components
- Validated in NCyTE/CSSIA's virtual sandbox
Sign up for an upcoming PD workshop.
Hands-on sessions run in partnership with CREATE, NCyTE, and NEVC, on operating all the OSE products and cyber hardening your OSE, in person and online.
The Open-Source SCADA Platform
A free, vendor-agnostic SCADA system integrating simulated and real-world field data, drag-and-drop web interface, and driver support for Solar Edge, Enphase, AlsoEnergy, and Victron Energy systems. It's the single most widely adopted product in E3 OSE, and the first one hardened under the ecosystem's new security review process.
Built with the support of the National Science Foundation.
E3 OSE grew from a pilot platform to a national ecosystem through NSF's Technology, Innovation and Partnerships Directorate, and is now advancing hardware security through the PESOSE program.
