Reference framework
Reference Framework 1.0 - Data Management Working Group (June 2023)
This report presents an update of the Reference Framework, now describing 7 Generic Business Processes and also detailing the Settlement subprocess. It also highlights 3 main findings and recommendations: Consistency with existing standards and on-going initiatives: activities similar to the Reference Framework are performed in parallel to BRIDGE activities, in particular in IEC with 62913 series and in SGTF EG1 with a set of Implementing Acts for the Electricity Directive Article 24.
Interoperability of home appliances
Interoperability of home appliances Report 2022-2023 - Data Management Working Group (May 2023)
This report aims to provide a common view on the issue as well as to show the first results from investigating the current state of affairs on this aspect within the BRIDGE projects. In the area of energy flexibility in residential buildings the home appliances constitute to the lowest, but probably one of the most important layers of the system. These appliances are indeed providing the flexibility.
Annual Report 2022 Energy Market Design and Flexibility
This report, written by Regulations Working Group (May 2023) focuses on system services, products, and related market design to acquire system services. BRIDGE Regulatory Working Group fosters knowledge sharing among HEU and H2020 projects affected by or addressing different regulatory aspects in the Energy domain. In the last years, several topics have been addressed, resulting in most cases on specific reports that can be shared not only within the BRIDGE community but with a larger audience.
Report on topic 1: Investigation of relationship of use cases and cross-domain
This report, written by Business Models Working Group (September 2022) aimed to zoom into concrete business models, related barriers to realize them and trends that may impact them. Task 2 investigated best practice for use cases monitoring and impact analysis and the role of Key Performance Indicators. Task 3 complemented and validated Task 1 and Task 2 activities with the help of a questionnaire to all participating projects.
European data exchange reference architecture 2.0
European (energy) data exchange reference architecture 2.0 - Data Management Working Group (June 2022)
This is the second version of Data Exchange Reference Architecture – DERA 2.0, as improved according to further input from several projects and external parties based on a dedicated survey. This includes updating the reference architecture, reviewing the recommendations associated to it as well as preparatory steps for cross-project data exchange implementation.
Exploration of citizen engagement methodologies in European R&I projects 2.0
Consumer and Citizen Engagement Working Group: Exploration of citizen engagement methodologies in European RandI projects (May 2022)
The report, prepared by the Consumer and citizen engagement working group in 2022, describes the development of the working group's activities, based on the 2020-2022 work plan, with the ultimate goal of creating a structured, cross-cutting understanding of the role and methodologies of engagement in European Research and Innovation projects.
Interoperability of flexibility assets 2.0
Interoperability of flexibility assets 2.0 - Data Management Working Group (May 2022)
This report highlights the conclusion to prioritise the "Interoperability of flexibility assets" with specific objectives: enabling interoperability through a set of recommendations, best practices, and potentially tools; addressing interoperability at the function layer (system use-cases, services) and information layer (semantic interoperability, data models, etc.); and covering the entire flexibility chain, from bidding, negotiation, and activation to the control of flexibility assets in the field.
BRIDGE Action#1: Set up a use case repository 2.0
The report, written by the Data Management Working Group (May 2022) describes the continuation of activities aimed at the development of a use case repository. In particular, this document deals with the validation process of the repository, for which all projects were invited to test the tool and send feedback to improve it in new versions. Moreover, it describes the status of the repository, next steps and conclusions, including information about the potential integration of the repository with other platforms.
BRIDGE Action#3: Interoperability of flexibility assets 2.0
This report, produced by the Data Management Working Group (May 2022) offers updates on the development of Action#3, which focuses on Interoperability of flexibility assets. The extensive work carried out from 2020 to 2022 resulted in a list of six findings and recommendations, mapped to the areas of the Digitalisation of Energy Action Plan (DoEAP), under development by the European Commission.
Guidelines for implementing the prescribed technology
Guidelines for implementing the prescribed technology: Additional subroutines and requirements, scientific background and state of the art, scalability & replicability task force
This report (May 2022) provides a solid methodology to support the Research projects of EU on quantification of their replicability and scalability potential. The Scalability and Replicability Assessment (SRA) methodology put forward has a scientific background, and this report illustrates in the most attractive and comprehensive way its application in ongoing and ending/ended BRIDGE projects.
