Specific Challenge:
Tomorrow's energy grids consist of heterogeneous interconnected systems, of an increasing number of small-scale and of dispersed energy generation and consumption devices, generating huge amounts of data. The electricity sector, in particular, needs big data tools and architectures for optimized energy system management under these demanding conditions.
Scope
Innovation Actions targeting large-scale pilot test-beds for big data application in the energy sector. The aim is to develop/pilot and deploy a reference architecture for large-scale multi-party data exchange, management & governance and real-time processing (including distributed/edge processing) in the energy sector and to translate this reference architecture into an open, modular data analytics toolbox for the safe and effective operation of grids and provision of innovative energy services. The reference architecture should ensure compatibility with legacy formats, interfaces and operating systems of the energy system, allow replication and scale-up, be compliant with applicable EU standards, and should enable the integration of relevant digital technologies like IoT, AI, cloud and big data services. The analytics toolbox shall be able to handle a wide variety of data and support the development of a wide range of energy services, at least to increase the efficiency and reliability of the operation of the electricity network (e.g. by predictive maintenance), to optimize the management of assets connected to the grid (in particular small-scale/renewable electricity generation and those used for demand response), to increase the efficiency and comfort of buildings, and to de-risk investments in energy efficiency (e.g. by reliably predicting and monitoring energy savings). Proposers should demonstrate that they have access to appropriate large-scale and realistic datasets, and should involve as many as necessary of the following types of participants: network operators, suppliers, independent aggregators, ESCO's, power exchanges, building management and renovation sectors, software integrators/developers. Proposals should address, as appropriate, analytics, simulation, prediction, cloud computing. Projects shall collaborate with EU-funded projects through the BRIDGE initiative [1].
For this topic, the four activities and impact criteria described in the introductory section 'Platforms and Pilots' have to be applied.
The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of around 10 million EUR would allow this area to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.
All grants under both subtopics will be subject to Article 30.3 of the grant agreement (Commission right to object to transfers or licensing).
Expected Impact:
Proposals should address the following impact criteria, providing metrics to measure success where appropriate:
- Effective integration of relevant digital technologies in the energy sector, resulting in integrated value chains and efficient business processes of the participating organizations;
- Enhancing energy asset management, increasing consumer participation and innovative network management, creating new data-driven business models and opportunities and innovative energy services;
- Contribution to increasing the use of renewable energy and increased energy efficiency based on optimised energy asset management, offering access to cheaper and sustainable energy for energy consumers and maximising social welfare;
- New data-driven paradigms for energy management systems able to deal with increased complexity of the energy systems;
- Improving availability of big data and big data management & analysis facilities for real-life scale research, simulation and test purposes.

IMPORTANT UPDATE! The proposal templates for innovation action for topics DT-ICT-09-2020 and DT-ICT-12-2020 include point 4.3. Financial support to third parties (FSTP). Please consider the additional clarification that the Consortia need to define the selection process of organisations, for which financial support will be granted (typically in the order of EUR 50 000 – 150 000 per third party). Maximum 20% of the EU funding can be allocated to this purpose.
2020-04-08
Please note that the submission deadline for topics DT-ICT-04-2020, DT-ICT-09-2020 and DT-ICT-12-2020 has been extended from 22 April to 17 June 2020. This extension is a response to the COVID-19 crisis that has severely affected many potential applicants of these topics and to allow more time for proposal preparation.

This document presents a preliminary overview of data exchange and data format in the Smart Energy sector. Main goal is to understand how the energy system can transition to a Data Economy becoming part of the Digital Single Market. This document is intended as a working document where new ideas and results can be added up to reach the right level of maturity.This document aims to identify the key issues that need to be addressed with the aim to make data exchange as easy as possible, for the energy sector and across sectors as a way to facilitate the development of new data-driven services. The aim is also to provide a state-of-play of discussions as a reference for ongoing and future Research, Innovation and demonstration activities (For example the Call on Big Data and Energy that will close on 2 April 2019 DT-ICT-11-2019).

There was an inconsistency between the work programme and the proposal template part B section 4-5, related to the innovation action of the topic DT-ICT-07-2018.Therefore the template has been partially modified under point 4.3. Financial support to third parties (FSTP). The sentence "At least 20% of the budget is expected to be dedicated to FSTP" has been substituted by "Maximum 20% of the EU funding can be allocated to this purpose". Please consider the new version of the template for your proposals.

We herewith bring to the attention of applicants that they are permitted to remove the page break on the cover page of the technical annex's template. This means that the text of the proposal can start on the cover page.
