Periodic Reporting for period 2 - ENERSHARE (European commoN EneRgy dataSpace framework enabling data sHaring-driven Across- and beyond- eneRgy sErvices)

Periodo di rendicontazione: 2024-01-01 al 2025-06-30

Sintesi del contesto e degli obiettivi generali del progetto

The ongoing energy system digitization is making available an enormous amount of data, paving the way for data sharingenabled cross-value chain services, which may contribute to system-level increased efficiency and hence facilitate the energy transition. However data sharing in the energy sector is lagging behind, mainly due to lack of trust, privacy breaches risk and business models immaturity. In that respect ENERSHARE will a) deliver a Reference Architecture for a European Energy Data Space, which hybridizes SGAM with IDSA and GAIA-X architectures, by bringing data value chain perspective into the energy one b) evolve interoperability, trust, data value and governance building blocks to TRL 6-7 IDSA-compliant ones, adapt them to energy sector, and deploy: 1) across-energy and cross-sector data enhancement technology enablers and standardizable interfaces and open APIs by leveraging on open Standards (e.g. ETSI Context Broker) and ontologies (e.g. SAREF 2) trust-related connectors, to ensure privacy, confidentiality, cybersecurity-preserving trust,sovereignty and full control of data 3) Blockchain/Smart contract-enriched marketplace for data versus energy assets/services coordination, sharing, exchange, and beyond financial compensation 4) cross-value chain value-added services and Digital Twins, by leveraging on privacy-preserving federated learning c) integrate and deploy them within a Reference Implementation of a European Energy Data Space, which will be demonstrated along 7 pilots and 11 intra-electricity, intra-energy and beyond energy use cases d) co-design SSH-based consumer-centric business models for energy data sharing enabling data beyond-financial value creation and spreading along value chain d) prepare the ground for the European Energy Data Space setup, deployment and operation, through alignment with EU-level relevant initiatives (GAIA-X, IDSA, BDVA, ETIP SNET, BRIDGE, DSCC) and sister projects through Int-NET clustering activities) , contributing to Data Space standardization and boosting a level playing field for data sharing.

SSHs are center stage in our project, as an effective way to incentivize energy end consumers to share their consumption data getting back some other assets and/or services.

Lavoro eseguito dall’inizio del progetto fino alla fine del periodo coperto dalla relazione e principali risultati finora ottenuti

Main work in this reporting period consisted of:
• Reference Architecture for a Common European Energy Data Space: in this respect a first version of Enershare Reference Architecture was published in D2.3 which analysed the existing reference architectures models in the energy domain such as SGAM, BRIDGE as well as the data spaces domain to incorporate cross-sector domain-agnostic roles into the Enershare reference architecture. This work was further extended in D2.5 which included the building blocks and respective software components that are planned for implementation within Enershare, which has been submitted in January 2024, hence at the beginning of the second reporting period.
• Extended intra-energy and cross-sector Data Space interoperability building blocks & Open APIs for cross-stakeholder interoperability, whose activities consisted of defining functional components for semantic interoperability, Tools and services that help to define and implement Open APIs, including Vocabulary Hub, Data Mash-Up, Compliance and Transformation Service
• Trust and sovereignty enabling framework and building blocks, which have been designed identified according to the OPENDEI building blocks identified according to the OPENDEI building block taxonomy and the requirements as specified by the pilots. A first set of components are provided for the first technology release, including 2 data space connector implementation and an identity provider, which provide the essentials innovation for trust and sovereignty
• App-store marketplace and DLT/Blockchain P2P Marketplace for data/services versus energy/service compensation, where a Beta version of the Marketplace release for MVP 1..5 has been delivered, including some basic functionalities for managing transactions
• Cross-value chain AI-based data-driven value-added services and Digital Twins, including new Federated learning methods and frameworks, and the delivery of 10 Data-driven energy services cover a diverse range, including energy community sizing, flexibility modelling of thermoelectric water heaters, community market pool for internal transactions, and failure detection algorithms for wind turbine components, 7 Data-driven cross-sector services, including multi-energy flexibility potential assessment and emissions/ecological footprint calculation, smart EV charging, have expanded their scope and accuracy. The System-of-System Integrated DTs, such as DT for optimal Power-to-Gas planning and Digital Twin for flexible energy networks, have reached beta versions
• First release of the integrated Enershare European Energy Data Space has been developed through the MVP 1.0 planning providing a first set the necessary features to instantiate the data space.
• 7 pilots, consisting of 12 use cases, have been prepared to use and validate the developed ENERSHARE services by setting up a piloting framework, including the Measurement & Validation Plan , which defines per each pilot how activities are coordinated within the project’s lifetime. During the pre-pilot phase, an early data-driven experimentation was carried out to test the initial functionalities of the 1st Technology Release
• SSH-based methodology and framework for multi-dimensional incentive design, business models and governance models for energy data sharing has been designed, and the SPUR framework has been developed, as well as a list of social requirements for data sharing incentive and service design and a practical checklist for ensuring that data is handled in line with these social requirements

Progressi oltre lo stato dell’arte e potenziale impatto previsto (incluso l’impatto socioeconomico e le implicazioni sociali più ampie del progetto fino ad ora)

A new reference Architecture for the Common European Energy data Space, novel semantically-enhanced interfaces for facilitating cross-energy and cross-value chain interoperability, sovereignty-preserving technological building blocks for trusted sharing, SSH-driven tokenized marketplaces for heterogeneous assets sharing and compensation, novel federated learning services, models and frameworks, System-of-System Integrated DTs, such as DT for optimal Power-to-Gas planning and Digital Twin for flexible energy networks, which have reached beta versions with substantial advancements in data warehousing, simulation scenarios, and visualization interfaces
