Blueprint of the Common European Energy Data Space (CEEDS) - version 2.0

This document addresses the concept of a Common European Energy Data Space (CEEDS), providing detailed approaches and recommendations for its real-world realization. In particular, the main objective of this blueprint is to guide on enhancing the existing data infrastructures, the energy domain, towards the full embracement of data space solutions. 

Evolution of Interoperability Standards

This report provides first a landscape on interoperability standards.

Information Models Coordination and Governance:
Standardisation Recommendations

This document explains and highlights the need for coordination on information models promoted by IEC, ISO or ITU-T standardization organizations.

IOP Report 2024

This report provides a comprehensive overview of the results and key findings of the Standard Vetting Interoperability Tests (SV-IOP), held in July 2024.

E.DSO Innovation Brief

As the electricity sector integrates decentralized energy sources and smart devices, achieving interoperability is crucial for improving efficiency and reducing costs. However, challenges such as standardization, governance, cybersecurity concerns, and a lack of harmonized market processes must be addressed through a comprehensive policy framework to foster collaboration and drive the sector's digital transformation.

Interoperability Maturity Model - White Paper

One of the key characteristics of the energy transition is the true integration of distributed resources, customer energy use, and community energy management with the planning and operation of the electric power system. This also means coordination across different energy sectors, such as gas, water, heat, and transport. All of these requirements associated with the energy transition involve extensive collaboration among various stakeholders. 

IOP Report 2023

This report provides a comprehensive overview of the results and key findings of the Interoperability test (IOP) on Common Grid Models Exchange Standard (CGMES) version 3.0. The objective of this test was to foster the harmonisation and interoperability of energy services throughout Europe by focusing on the adoption and implementation of CGMES v3.0, an IEC standard (IEC 61970-600-1&2:2021).

Via this link you can download the artifacts that int:net produced, for example the terminology and definitions used for the int:net Interoperability Model (EMINENT).

Interoperability Initiatives (zip)

This document presents an overview of the categories and tagging system employed to classify the interoperability initiatives analysed by the partners involved in the int:net project. Although most of these initiatives were focused on the smart grid domain, it does not exclude other sectors. This document is intended to serve as an accompanying file to understand the structure and read in a better way the digital repository of interoperability initiatives gathered in the int:net platform.
