Since 1999, Savoir-faire Linux (SFL) has been a leader in open-source software engineering with offices in Rennes (France) and Montreal (Canada). Specialist in embedded systems, our experts help manufacturers, utilities, DSOs and TSOs, as well as energy technology providers, to develop, industrialize and secure their products and solutions. We bridge the gap between research, prototyping, and large-scale industrial deployment.
We are also actively engaged in GEISA (Grid Edge Interoperability and Security Alliance), a collaborative open-source project fostering a secure and interoperable ecosystem for the next generation of grid edge computing and smart metering. We bring unique expertise to help DSOs, utilities and technology providers design, test and integrate next-generation smart metering solutions aligned with European regulations and standards.
Our services range from strategic consulting and architecture design, to implementation, continuous support and tailored training. This holistic approach allows us to enhance operational efficiency, de-risk innovation and help our clients adapt to the rapidly evolving energy landscape.
SFL was rewarded by RTE with a “2022 Supplier Trophy” in the category “Competitiveness and Industrial Excellence” for our work on SEAPATH.
Finally, beyond technology contributions, SFL is also actively engaged in the LF Energy governance. Through this involvement, we contribute to shaping the future of open-source innovation in the energy sector, ensuring that utilities, vendors and communities worldwide benefit from collaborative, transparent and sustainable digital infrastructures.
Strongly involved in the LF Energy since 2021, SFL has a proven track record of delivering high-quality services to prominent utilities and energy stakeholders such as RTE, GE Vernova, Netbeheer Nederland and Baker Hughes. Our teams combine cutting-edge software engineering with a deep understanding of energy sector challenges, from IT/OT convergence to interoperability and cybersecurity.
We are the co-creator and main contributor to the SEAPATH project, an industrial-grade, real-time, open-source virtualization platform for IEC 61850 digital substations. SEAPATH provides a reliable and standardized foundation for hosting vPACs and vIEDs, enabling utilities to deploy hardware-agnostic, cost-effective and future-proof digital substations. Our engineers contribute upstream development, reference implementations, digital twins for testing and support services to help utilities and vendors accelerate their SEAPATH journey.
In addition, our long-standing expertise in embedded systems engineering enables us to support energy sector players in designing and securing advanced digital control and IoT solutions. From BSPs & RTOS, to cybersecurity frameworks and industrial connectivity, our expertise ensures the robustness, safety and performance of mission-critical energy applications.
