Horizon 2020 project OneNet launches an open Call for third parties
OneNet - One Network for Europe is one of the largest and most ambitious H2020 projects aiming at the integration of energy markets across Europe with a focus on the TSO - DSO - Consumer value chain. To accomplish this, the OneNet project is working on new standardized products and services, including a suitable market structure and reference architecture with a focus on flexibility, which will be evaluated in the four international demonstration clusters. OneNet project aims at creating a seamless integration of all actors in the electricity network across countries, by proposing mechanisms for TSOs and DSOs to work in a coordinated manner to unlock and enable the establishment of new flexibility markets and mechanisms.
To accomplish this objective, OneNet is developing an open, decentralised, flexible, scalable, and interoperable architecture to transform the actual European electricity system, often country fragmented, into a pan-European one. This architecture will provide the necessary tools and mechanisms for allowing open, technological agnostic, adaptable platform interconnections, ranging from a country level to a European level context. Within this effort, the design of an open architecture, data exchange and interoperability mechanisms, cybersecurity guidelines, and sets of AI and big data tools are being seamless aggregated.
In order to further evaluate and refine the results and implementation of the OneNet project, an Open Call for Third Parties is available:
- Successful applications can receive up to 60 000 euros funding
- Innovative ideas are searched across seven topics
- The call is open until the 1st of February 2022
Therefore, OneNet is looking for SMEs and Start-ups that will introduce new services for the network operators and the household consumers by adopting the OneNet infrastructure and framework.
The Open Call will distribute up to 550.000 euros among up to 9 Third Parties (SMEs and Start-ups) established in an EU member state or in an associated country and possessing a validated Participant Identification Code (this code is provided for interested parties to participate in EU funding programmes and procurements). Each successful applicant will receive a maximum of 60 000 euros funding. The project consortium is looking for successful applications proposals under one of the following seven topics-scenarios.
- Deep power system analysis through GIS server application (Georeferenced power system modeling and analysis utilizing the geo-server) _ Greek Demo
- Active participation of an actual prosumer to the Cyprus demo and its coordination by the ABCM-D platform
- DSO-TSO interaction _ Portuguese Demo
- Flexibility Provider engagement to test local markets able to alleviate network congestions at medium and low voltage network levels _ Spanish Demo
- Flexibility resources to provide flexibility services to the Northern Demonstrator
- Advanced Data Quality Analysis of Data Exchange Platforms
- Third Party providing access to the Polish Balancing Market for prequalified Flexibility Service Providers
The call is open from 1st December 2021 until 1st February 2022.
