Towards the Interoperable energy ecosystem of the future
“Towards the Interoperable energy ecosystem of the future” is the event organised by the InterConnect project for the Sustainable Energy Week – an initiative promoted by the European Commission.
The event will be held in Brussels, on September 27, and it will gather stakeholders working to digitalize the European electric sector. Representatives from the two Directorate-General of the EC directly involved in the project – DG ENER and DG Connect – are expected in the event to discuss the alignment of the new technologies and services, with the goals of the EC.
The “Semantic Interoperability Framework” – one of InterConnnect’s main achievements – will be presented at this event.
The role of the industry towards the interoperable energy ecosystem of the future is the motto for the discussion, with representatives addressing the necessary changes, the challenges, and the path to a more sustainable ecosystem.
A technological showcase of the representative technologies developed in the project will be exhibited.
Led by INESC TEC, the InterConnect project gathers 50 European entities to develop and demonstrate advanced solutions for connecting and converging digital homes and buildings with the electricity sector. The project places the foundation for the future of smart energy management solutions by seven connected large-scale test-sites in Portugal, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Greece and France.The main goal is to bringing efficient energy management within reach of the end-users. 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.
