～ 地産地消型の再生可能エネルギー導入を促進し、サステイナブル社会の実現へ ～
ソニーCSLは、独自開発のP2P(ピアツーピア)電力融通技術を活用したマイクログリッドシステム「Open Energy System」の中核モジュールである電力融通制御ソフトウェア「Autonomous Power Interchange System」をオープンソース化し、2020年12月1日より無償提供を開始します。
オープンソース化することにより、様々なステークホルダーが一体となった取り組みの活性化や大学等における再生エネルギー関連研究の加速、マイクログリッド関連スタートアップの出現など、様々なオープンイノベーションが推進されるものと考えています。

Promote locally produced & consumed renewable energy, work towards a sustainable society
On December 1, 2020, Sony CSL make its Autonomous Power Interchange System (APIS)—the power-interchange management software that comprises the core module of microgrid Open Energy System (OES) and the proprietary peer-to-peer (P2P) power interchange technology they develop—open source, meaning it will be freely available to the public.
Sony CSL has done pilot projects of microgrid OES related technologies in locations including Africa and Okinawa, Japan. At the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), we have provided power to faculty housing units for five years, confirming that our technology is both stable and practical. Sony CSL’s mission is to “carry out research for the future of humanity,” and if we are to fulfill that mission, it is our responsibility to deliver research results using the best methods available to us.
We believe that making this technology open source will promote all sorts of open innovation, energizing a variety of stakeholders to come together, accelerating research into transformation towards renewable energy at universities and scientific institutes, and spurring the emergence of microgrid-related startups.
