INO-HUB Energy participated in the 13th edition of the OSSConf 2025 conference, which is one of the key professional events focused on open-source technologies, open data, education, artificial intelligence, and their practical application in both academic and applied practice. The conference programme was characterised by a high professional standard, thematic balance, and a diverse range of presentations, and was structured into six expert sections complemented by six invited lectures.
raditionally strong sections included Open GIS and Open Data, OSS in Education, Open Hardware, OSS Development, and Open AI, reflecting current trends in open technologies, artificial intelligence, and their application in education and practice. The programme also featured practical workshops focused on programming, microcontrollers, data visualisation, and software development.
Our colleagues Milan Straka, Ľuboš Buzna, and Jozef Kostolný actively contributed to the conference with a presentation entitled “How to Make Battery Energy Storage Systems Profitable – What Gives AI Engineers in Energy a Headache.” The presentation addressed practical challenges related to the optimisation of battery energy storage operations, the use of artificial intelligence and data-driven models in the energy sector, and the economic aspects of their deployment under real market conditions.
In addition, a scientific paper by our colleagues entitled “Economic Efficiency of Battery Energy Storage Systems: An Optimisation Model for Day-Ahead Market Price Arbitrage and Its Implementation Using Open-Source Software Pyomo” was published in the conference proceedings. The paper focuses on the design of an optimisation model for price arbitrage in the day-ahead electricity market and its implementation using open-source tools, highlighting the importance of open software in solving complex energy-related challenges.
We consider participation in OSSConf 2025 to be an important opportunity for exchanging experience, presenting research results, and strengthening cooperation between academia, research, and practice in the fields of open technologies and energy.
