In this podcast, we asked Vassilis Sakas and Konstantinos Kotsalo (European Dynamics), what has already been achieved with Work Package 6, the main challenges faced, the main requirements they have identified for the decentralized middleware layer, and what solutions have been adopted to develop it.
The overall objective of this WP is to set the basis of the work to be done in the ONENET proposal. That is to say, it will look back to the market solutions and digital platforms presented so far in the EU pilot projects, revisit European policy frameworks, summarize their contributions and benefits, and build on this information to sketch the new products and business use cases proposed in the ONENET approach. These products and business use cases will engage strongly the consumers in order to maximize the flexibility resources that the grid operators can use to meet the clean energy challenges. The differences among EU markets will be reviewed and specific priorities for KPIs, Scalability and Replicability of Onenet solutions will be devised in order to enable the pan-EU integration of these new services and products digitally procured for system operation.

Energy transition is known as 3D transition, where 3D stands for decarbonisation, decentralisation and digitalisation. Digitalisation is the way to enable the power system to manage distributed production and demand flexibility. New opportunities and challenges are emerging along the entire electricity supply chain.
In this podcast, Natalie Samovich (Resilientgroup, SB AIOTI, chair WG energy Portugal) and Daniele Stampatori (EUI) shed some light on the main features of a ‘data-centred’ power system and the contributions the OneNet project can provide.

In this podcast, we asked Ferdinando Bosco (Engineering), what has already been achieved with Work Package 5, the main challenges faced, and how OneNet can contribute to create a common EU architecture for designing interoperable data exchange solutions.

The objectives for this WP are twofold:
1) to design an open conceptual architecture for effective yet seamless operation of a smarter pan-European electricity system where market and network technical operations are coordinated closer to real time among them and across countries
2) to provide requirements, functional and technical specifications, together with interoperable and standardizable interfaces for an open scalable decentralized interconnection of platform, technology agnostic adaptable and flexible IT reference architecture which fully support the OneNet concept and provides the necessary backbone for the WP6 subsequent implementation of the OneNet data sovereignty-preserving working space.

The energy transition requires a more flexible electricity system in terms of energy production and consumption. One of the most relevant challenges of the transition is the increase in computational costs for system management. To keep the system balanced, system operators have to forecast and manage an increasing share of energy production from variable energy sources. The role of demand-side flexibility will also play an increasing role.
In this podcast, Luciana Marques (VITO) and Daniele Stampatori (EUI) explore the importance of computational tools to face these emerging challenges and opportunities.
