Energy Data Space (EnDaSpace)

The digitization of the energy transition aims to harness information from a large number of decentralized power generators. With the prospect of green hydrogen gaining importance in the energy sector, the sources of electricity supply for the electrolysis of hydrogen is important. Operation of electrolyzers need to consider availability of green electricity, actual power prices and grid situation. In this use case wind power should be used for hydrogen production when the resource is available.

Communication between the plants and systems takes place via an Energy Data Space. Here, plants exchange data according to agreed rules and under certain conditions. An IDS connector implements these rules and processes. The concept of International Data Spaces thus enables all players to make self-determined decisions about the use of their data, thus enabling their digital sovereignty.

The turbine operator provides a data resource with operational data via an IDS connector. An energy management system from a third party provides the digital service to create an optimized schedule which is then sent to the electrolyzer for operation.

Q

Vehicle Charging

Electric Vehicles drivers can find charging their cars confusing and worrying:

Multiple smartphone apps/RFID cards needed to access different public charging networks
Varied pricing rates and structures
Limited interoperability of networks
Difficulty to plan long journeys across multiple networks
Users must plan their journeys more akin to that of a commuter using public transport.
Users can find charging points not working / already in use

All is exacerbated if a driver does not have a home charger or lives in an apartment block with no charging facilities (which is likely at the early stage of EV market development).

There are many data sources separately held that could unlock solution and value if they were aggregated and centralised for use and analysis. We propose to enhance roaming standards to allow operators to offer enhanced services that enable customers to freely move and charge between their home charger and partnering public charging networks, allowing a view of all of their EV ‘fuel’ in one place.

BENEFITS:

This service will improve the EV’s owner experience, by dematerializing the payment amd facilitating the planification of a long journey
It will enable real time connection with charging points (CP), in order to monitor CP availability and CP failures

Q

Wind and Solar Assets modeling

When it comes to manage efficiently and effectively the renewable assets and all the O&M actions for the different actors (Manufacturers, Owners, Developers, Operators, ...), the difficulties to access to data exploitable in a cross functional way by these different profiles of actors and the different digital systems mobilized represents a real challenge.

The wind and solar description model is the digital backbone to federate all the businesses and its ecosystem around one single source of truth from “DESIGN, MODIFICATION to others REFRESHMENT”. This structured, agnostic asset management description support business process orchestration in a context of new business model refocused on growth of decentralized and distributed energy and carbon neutrality "as a service".

Being able to share the same abstract representation of data for the wind and solar domain would allow a better understanding of the associated operations (asset management, RCA, Structural Analysis, Visual Inspection, monitoring ...) and an obvious improvement of the processes that mobilize the processing of this information. It lays foundations of virtual plants.

BENEFITS:

Opportunity to build comprehensive models, analytics frameworks and improve multiparty collaboration capabilities needed to support digital ecosystems. It lays foundations of virtual plants with their benefits
Backbone for renewables operator to ensure continuity of technical data along lifecycle
Real accelerator for Greenfields and brownfields assets to deliver more safely, more quickly more efficiently and with a lower Total Cost of Ownership
