European (energy) data exchange reference architecture 3.0

This is the third version of Data Exchange Reference Architecture – DERA 3.0. BRIDGE report on energy data exchange reference architecture aims at contributing to the discussion and practical steps towards truly interoperable and business process agnostic data exchange arrangements on European scale both inside energy domain and across different domains.DERA 3.0Recommendations related to the implementation of DERA:A. Leverage Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM) usage by completing it with data governance requirements, specifically from end-customer perspective, and map it to the reference architectures of other sectors (similar to the RAMI4.0 for industry – Reference Architecture Model Industrie 4.0; and CREATE-IoT 3D RAM for health – Reference Architecture Model of CREATE-IoT project), incl. for basic interoperability vocabulary with non-energy sectors.B. Facilitate European strategy, regulation (harmonisation of national regulations) and practical tools for cross-sector exchange of any type of both private data and public data, e.g. through reference models for data space, common data governance and data interoperability implementing acts.C. Ensure cooperation between appropriate associations, countries and sector representatives to work on cross-sector and cross-border data management by establishing European data cooperation agency. This involves ongoing empowering/restructuring of the Data Management WG of the BRIDGE Initiative to engage other sectors and extend cooperation with projects that are not EU-funded and with European Standardisation Organisations (CEN-CENELEC-ETSI).D. Harmonise the development, content and accessibility of data exchange business use cases for cross-sector domain through BRIDGE use case repository. Track tools that identify common features on use cases, e.g. interfaces between sectors, and enable the alignment with any potential peer repositories for other domains. Also, the use case repository must rely on the HEMRM with additional roles created by some projects or roles coming from other associations (related to another sector than the electricity/energy sector).E. Use BRIDGE use case repository for aligning the role selection. Harmonise data roles across electricity and other energy domains by developing HERM – Harmonised Energy Role Model and ensure access to model files. Look for consistency with other domains outside energy based on this HERM – cross-sectoral roles.

Harmonisation of functional data processes for cross-sector data ecosystems including Vocabulary provider, Federated catalogue, Data quality, Data accounting processes, Clearing process (audit, logging, etc.) and Data tracking and provenance.G. Define and maintain a common reference semantic data model, and ensure access to its model files facilitating cross-sector data exchange, by leveraging existing data models like Common Information Model (CIM) of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and ontologies like Smart Appliances Reference Ontology (SAREF).H. Develop cross-sector data models and profiles, with specific focus on private data exchange. Enable open access to model files whenever possible.I. Ensure protocol agnostic approach to cross-sector data exchange by selecting standardised and open ones.J. Ensure data format agnostic approach to cross-sector data exchange. The work done by projects like TDX-ASSIST and EU-SysFlex (using IEC CIM), and PLATOON (using SAREF) must be shared and made known to consolidate the approach in order to reach semantic interoperability. Metadata must also be taken into account.K. Promote business process agnostic DEPs (Data Exchange Platforms) and make these interoperable by developing APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) which enable for data providers and data users easy connection to any European DEP but also create the possibility whereby connecting to one DEP ensures data exchange with any other stakeholder in Europe. DEPs shall explore the integration of data space connectors towards their connectivity with other DEPs including cross-sector ones.L. Develop universal data applications which can serve any domain. Develop open data driven services that promote also cross-sector integration collectively available in application repositories.Possible next steps (“sub-actions”) for 2023/2024:➢ Release BRIDGE Federated Service Catalogue tool and associated process.➢ Release DERA interactive visualisation tool.➢ Follow up the implementation of DERA 3.0 in BRIDGE projects (mapping to DERA)➢ Update recommendations to comply with DERA 3.0.➢ Develop / enhance the “data role model”

Open Smart Energy Eco-System for the Future

Due to the increasing complexity of the global energy system and the amount of data transmitted by smart devices, there is an urgent need to unlock smart technologies and services with investments on the scalability of computational resources. This objective can be achieved by means of a standardized software platform that can support interoperability and behave as the main vehicle for the rapid implementation of innovative energy services. One possibility to enhance computational power on demand is cloud computing, which forms the Internet of Things (IoT). In this work, a customizable open-source IoT platform setup using the FIWARE framework is deployed, which exploits the advantages for a smart energy domain. The term platform comprehends a set of software tools that allow quick integration of various devices. This study presents the implemented platform and analyses its functionality in di↵erent use cases on the European level

A cloud-based service-oriented architecture to unlock smart energy services

Abstract In a modern smart energy system with increased penetration of renewable energy resources, the amount of data from various sources is growing significantly. Such systems require complex algorithms and controlling on-demand. These requirements can be addressed with on-demand scalability and a stable system. Nowadays, on-demand scalability is achieved by considering cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. This paper presents a cloud-based platform based on service-oriented architecture to perform analyzes on smart energy system services. It is the result of the European FISMEP (FIWARE for Smart Energy Platform) project to demonstrate an information and communication technology (ICT) architecture for the smart energy sector. The presented architecture is powered by FIWARE, open-source and customizable building blocks for future internet applications and services. Furthermore, the feasibility of the architecture is evaluated using various test cases

Data Spaces for Energy, Home and Mobility

The European Commission has promoted the deployment of the Digitalisation of Energy Action Plan (DoEAP), in order to develop an efficient, competitive market for a digital energy infrastructure and digital energy services that are both cyber-secure and sustainable. A central aspect of DoEAP is represented by the concept of Energy Data Spaces. Data exchange is crucial for emerging energy data services in the digital energy market and will help suppliers and energy service providers to innovate and cope with an increasing share of renewables in a more decentralised energy system. The data includes metering data, data from consumers such as home appliances, building automation, EV charging stations, or prosumers PV panel & inverters. Its availability and timely sharing and use among the relevant players is key for the energy transition. This document addresses main issues of data exchange in the three interconnected key sectors: energy, buildings and mobility; the analyses focus on existing concepts of data formats and data standards, reflecting on how to facilitate data sharing across the different sectors based on a common data framework. The foremost use cases of European projects and initiatives in the specific sector or at cross-sector level are presented, depicting the current state of data exchange deployments and identifying the necessary actions for the upcoming developments

Towards an interoperability roadmap for the energy transition

Published online: 06 July 2023Smart grid interoperability is the means to achieve the twin green and digital transition but remains heterogeneous and fragmented to date. This work presents the first ideas and cornerstones of an Interoperability Roadmap for the Energy Transition that is being developed by the Horizon Europe int:net project. This roadmap builds on four cornerstones that address open interoperability issues. These are a knowledge base to address the lack of convergence among existing initiatives, a maturity model and a network of testing and certification facilities to address the lack of practical tools for the industry, and a governance process to address the gap between standards-related approaches of Standards Development Organisations and Research and Innovation projects. A community of practice will be set up to ensure the continuity of the ongoing activities related to smart grid interoperability. To outlive the duration of the int:net project, the aim is to formalise the community of practice as a legal entity
