Objectives
The main goal? Bringing efficient energy management within reach of the end-users.
Large-scale pilots leading to market driven deployments
Marketplace of integrated digital platforms bridging the gap between Iot and energy
Establish interoperability framework validating SAREF and semantic interoperability
User centric energy and non-energy services
Expected Results
The solutions developed within the scope of InterConnect will allow a digitalisation of homes, buildings and electric grids based on an Internet of Things (IoT) architecture.
By including digital technologies (Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Cloud and Big Data) based on open standards, such as SAREF, it will guarantee the interoperability between equipment, systems and privacy/cybersecurity of user data.
Who has the opportunity to take advantage of these solutions?
- Energy users in buildings
- Manufacturers
- Distribution grid operators
- Energy Retailers
