Data Sharing Platform for Consumer Energy Flexibility and Smart Grid Management

energyPilotedTRL 6

Imagine if your home's solar panels and electric car could talk to the power grid to help prevent blackouts. This project builds a secure digital space where energy companies and homeowners share data to balance electricity supply and demand. It turns regular energy users into active partners who can earn rewards for helping the grid stay stable.

The business problem

What needed solving

Energy grids are becoming unstable due to the rise of decentralized energy sources like home solar panels. Current data is trapped in silos, preventing operators from using consumer flexibility to balance the grid.

The solution

What was built

A reference Energy Data Space implementation and a set of business scenarios for actors in the energy value chain.

Business applications

Who can put this to work

Energy Distribution
enterprise
Target: Distribution System Operator (DSO)

If you are a grid operator dealing with unstable power flows from too many home solar panels — this project developed a reference Energy Data Space that improves network resilience and asset monitoring. It allows you to coordinate better with transmission operators to prevent outages.

Energy Services
SME
Target: Local Energy Community (LEC) Aggregator

If you are a community energy manager dealing with fragmented user data — this project developed tools to act as a Business Service Provider. This enables you to manage local energy sharing and participate in flexibility markets more profitably.

Smart Home Technology
mid-size
Target: Home Energy Management System (HEMS) Provider

If you are a tech provider dealing with low user engagement in energy saving — this project developed personalized and automated data features. This increases prosumer acceptance by making energy flexibility less intrusive for the end user.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost or pricing model for this solution?

Based on available project data, no specific pricing or commercial cost models are mentioned; the project is funded by an EU contribution of EUR 7,972,950.

Can this be scaled to an industrial level?

Yes, the project is being validated in 3 large-scale demonstration sites across Greece, Spain, and Denmark to ensure it works across different socio-economic and technical environments.

How is the intellectual property or licensing handled?

The project has defined an Ethics and IPR management Approach as part of its Project Management Plan, though specific license types are not detailed in the summary.

How does this integrate with existing energy hardware?

It uses a data space implementation to connect diverse data sources and heterogeneous energy assets, including buildings and mobility sectors.

What is the timeline for deployment?

The project period runs from 2022-09-01 to 2026-02-28, indicating it is currently in the implementation and validation phase.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 18 industrial partners representing 69% of the group. This strong commercial presence, including 7 SMEs and partners from 10 different countries, suggests the project is focused on market viability rather than just academic research.
