WP1: WP1 delivered the multi-physics component modules together with a certification procedure. The modules comprise 1) detailed system models for energy carriers (electricity, gas), 2) energy consumer models for industry, buildings & transport, 3) multi-parameter models that will be integrated into the assembly tool (WP2) for multi-carrier energy analyses and 4) component models with detailed analysis capabilities from which the assembly tool will sample data. WP1 also launched the project database, introduced data formats and collected-mapped energy data at NUTSL2.
WP2: The WP2 team has delivered the modularity design and models standardisation framework, which is deliverable 2.1 and ensures the frictionless interaction between the different layers and respective energy system models prepared within WP 2. In addition, the team delivered the assembly tool for the multi-physics component models, using as input the multi-physics component models developed in WP1, corresponding to deliverable 2.2.
WP3: WP3 has not started yet. It will start at the beginning of M19.
WP4: WP4 had only one month of activity in this reporting period. This was mainly devoted to defining-harmonizing the nomenclature and interactions with the database developed for iDesignRES.
WP5: WP5 has not started yet. It will start at the beginning of M34.
WP6: In the first six months, a Dissemination and Exploitation plan including Communication was submitted. Accordingly, a visual identity and project website were created, and a first social media campaign launched to present iDesignRES’ partners. A leaflet and flyers were produced and used by partners attending dissemination events, and different actions were promoted via social media. Interviews with public authorities that could use the iDesignRES models have been developed. Also, for the project, a general presentation video is under preparation.
WP7: The WP implemented project management tools for iDesignRES, including a SharePoint repository, monitoring tools, regular monthly meetings, and templates for collaborative work and financial management. The WP followed progression in tasks, deliverables development and coordination among partners, organized the kick-off meeting, two consortium meetings and support for various workshops logistics. The deliverables for project management plan, data management plan and compliance with ethics requirements were completed.
