ODEON Project Background
Even if significant progress has been made towards the Twin Green & Digital Transition, the recent energy crisis revealed the EU energy system’s vulnerability and dependence on external energy sources and highlighted the need for intensifying the integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in electricity, transport, and building (heating) sectors. To achieve this, the energy system shall transform from a centralised/fossil-fuel-based to an energy efficient, RES-based, and interdependent system, operating with a high degree of flexibility offered by distributed assets across it edges.
Goals of the project
Following this strategic approach, ODEON aims to achieve the following objectives:
ODEON is conceived under the principle that Twin Green & Digital Transition can only be realised through the creation of an inclusive ecosystem of stakeholders characterised by a mesh of Data, Intelligence, Service and Market flows, jointly enabling the resilient operation of the energy system under increased RES integration and distributed flexibility.
ODEON introduces a sound, reliable, scalable and openly accessible federated technological framework for the delivery of a wealth of services addressing the complete life-cycle of Data/AIOps and their smart spawn in federated environments and infrastructures across the continuum.
It will integrate highly reliable and secure federated data management, processing, sharing and intelligence services, enabling the energy value chain actors and 3rd parties to engage in data/intelligence sharing, towards the delivery of innovative data-driven and intelligence-powered energy services in accordance with the objectives set by the Digitalisation of Energy Action Plan (DoEAP).
