✨New! Technical Report (TR 128): Interoperability Profile Recommendations for Hydrogen Assets

Access here: https://t.co/36iRYK58UM
...
This report provides data models that end users can borrow to enable interoperable communication with their hydrogen assets. It showcases the operation of interoperable intelligent devices that exchange information to and from the hydrogen assets. The data models showcased in this work are available open-source for users to download and replicate the experiments presented in this report.
