Battery Innovation Center to Become First Commercial Testing Facility for OpenFMB

The BIC has announced its commitment in becoming the first commercially accredited test laboratory for grid devices, systems, and applications to certify interoperability conformance to the Open Field Message Bus (OpenFMB) framework standard.

The OpenFMB interoperability framework is a standard ratified in 2016 by the North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB).  It enables traditional grid-edge operational assets and distributed energy resources – such as solar photovoltaics, energy storage systems, and microgrids – to quickly and securely communicate with each other in the field regardless of each device’s local communications protocols.
