Sintesi del contesto e degli obiettivi generali del progetto

Storage is becoming one of the most critical assets for modern energy systems. At the same time storage is a very diverse universe of solutions and technologies with very different characteristics. InterSTORE plans to address this complexity be developing an innovative middleware that, while virtualizing the storage technology, will simplify its use from the point of view of integration platform thanks to a technology agnostic approach.
On one hand this middleware will facilitate the integration of storage creating an independence from the hardware solution which is critical from customer perspectives to avoid vendor lock in solutions. On the hand it will facilitate its use from a monetization perspective making sure that more investments in storage are enabled.

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

InterSTORE middleware will be released as a full open-source product integrating a set of already available standards and protocols in a coherent and advanced architecture.
First all, the new InterSTORE solution will be tested and validated in 4 real life living lab in Italy, Austria, Germany and Portugal and in one laboratory in Spain setting with the purpose not only to replicate in a controlled environment a selection of identified use cases but also with the goal to develop testing software to be adopted in the future for interoperability certification.
The middleware will also be integrated both in open source and commercial platforms to support the validation of the solution in real life demos. Here the goal is to enhance already available and successfully flexibility platforms but also to check in real life scenario the value of the new solution.
InterSTORE has also a strong focus towards impact. First of all, as already mentioned, the solution will become part of already running commercial platform making sure that a real adoption is anticipated at the end of the project.

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)
