WP1 - UL ensured the project met its deadlines and delivered the anticipated results. This included organizing biannual general meetings and monthly calls, as well as establishing other transparent communication channels.
WP2 - A list of consumers, technical, and energy-system services was created and further refined through people-centric methodology activities, such as workshops, interviews, and focus groups, conducted by partners at each pilot site. These efforts were complemented by end-user empowerment activities, including the recruitment of active pilot site users. The sENC concept was defined for the Italian, Spanish, and Finnish pilot sites. Business models were explored and developed for various stakeholders involved in the STREAM pilot sites. Each pilot site defined requirements, use cases, and KPIs.
WP3 - The foundations for developing sPLAN and sGRID were established. The sDATA specifications were defined, tailoring the implementation to the specifics of each pilot site.
WP4 - The specifications for sFLEX were defined for the Italian, Slovenian, and Spanish pilots, and the development process of the tool began. An overview of existing energy markets was created for each pilot, along with the definition of timelines for establishing local flexibility markets. The Traffic Light System and its associated grid limits were defined. A design for the device registry was outlined, incorporating gathered requirements from various stakeholders and describing its functionalities. Flexibility utilization options in each of the four STREAM pilots were explored.
WP5 - Each pilot site created a deployment plan and updated the risk log, as defined in the grant agreement, based on the specifics of the pilot and the identified risks during the reporting period. Various activities were carried out at each pilot site, including the recruitment of active participants, user-engagement initiatives, data gathering, and topology modeling.
WP7 - STREAM actively contributed to several BRIDGE Working Groups, including Regulation, Business Models, Data Management, and Consumer and Citizen Engagement. The project’s outreach strategy was robustly executed through various channels, including the regularly updated STREAM website (with 5,203 unique visitors by February 2025), a new STREAM Ecosystem section with an engaging animation, and conference papers presented at key events like Powertech, ISGT Europe, ENLIT, and others. STREAM produced a new brochure (M19) featuring the STREAM Story and a second promotional video (M29) on Device Registry. Clustering activities were strengthened through collaborations with ENFLATE, BEflexible, and participation in the Energy Nexus platform and Every1 network.
