I’d like to collect a list of (third party) (scientific) papers, (blog) posts and press articles / reviews /comments about OpenEMS. If you are aware of any (preferably English or German) sources, feel free to collect these here.
I could imagine to later contribute to a Wikipedia article about OpenEMS. Such article would need some sources. This list could be used to select some sources.
Starting the list with:
This is a great initiatve - thank you!
The “official” way to reference OpenEMS would be via our Zenodo Digital Object Identifier (DOI) - but that doesn’t seem to get used: OpenEMS/openems: 2026.2.0
A quick search in ScienceDirect brought some good results: https://www.sciencedirect.com/search?qs=OpenEMS
Open innovation in industrial demand response: A computing continuum approach to overcoming technological barriers
Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity, December 2025

“The OpenEMS edge is utilized locally at sites to directly interface with industrial devices
(e.g., energy storage, EV chargers), collect telemetry, and execute
control logic.”
Q-GRID SMART: A blockchain-enabled smart home energy management and analytics system
Results in Engineering, December 2025
Ameni Boumaiza
Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute, HBKU, Doha, Qatar
Compared to established platforms like Volttron and OpenEMS,
which focus primarily on open-source energy agent frameworks and
modular control, Q-GRID SMART goes further by tightly integrating
blockchain-secured peer-to-peer (P2P) trading, predictive cost and emis-
sions analytics, and an interactive user dashboard.
Semantic middleware for demand response systems: Enhancing data interoperability in green electricity management for manufacturing
Computers in Industry, November 2025
Tina Boroukhian, Kritkorn Supyen, Christopher William Mclaughlan, Atit Bashyal, Tuan Pham, Hendro Wicaksono
School of Business, Social and Decision Sciences, Constructor University, Campus Ring 1, Bremen, 28759, Germany
School of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh, Eva Place 10, Edinburgh, EH9 3ET, Scotland, UK
The middleware is supported by a real-time data collection system using OpenEMS,
an open-source modular platform for energy managementThis interoperability is further supported by the use of OpenEMS,
which enables distributed control across cloud–edge environments.
