Europe
Considering the increasing need for grid balancing and flexibility, as well as the crucial role digitalisation will play as the energy transition advances, Fraunhofer developed the OneNet Data Connector in partnership with several stakeholders in the energy market. OneNet is an open architecture to integrate innovative markets and grid operation, ensuring economic viability both at TSO and DSO level and enabling a holistic view of the system as integrated infrastructure.
Highlights
01
Standardised approach for Europe’s electricity grid sector, considering national legislations, regulations and business models.
02
Coverage of different European regions, with demos including 15 country markets.
03
Continous dialogue with major stakeholders in the electricity grid sector through the GRIFOn (Grid Forum).
Main Information
In the context of an energy system dominated by distributed renewables, customers move from being peripheral users to key players of the energy system, contributing renewable generation and grid flexibility. This transformation requires an integrated approach between generation and grid operation to allow for close-to-real-time situation management. Digitalisation is an enabler of this process, opening the way to smart, secure, and efficient management of data sources.
OneNet’s architecture transforms the fragmented European electricity system into a smarter, efficient, and pan-European one. The goal is to establish solutions with broad market uptake, driven by consensus-building at the European level, and leading to efficient standardisation processes. It offers mechanisms for pan-European interoperability for power network stakeholders, ensuring data and service integration, privacy compliance, and cross-stakeholder governance.
