OneNet / One Network for Europe

A new generation of grid services is in the making to enhance the power generation system. Demand response, storage and distributed generation of energy are key for creating fair, transparent and open conditions for the consumer. However, making this work requires the development of new products and services and the creation of a new IT architecture. The EU-funded OneNet project is taking on this ambitious endeavour. It proposes innovative mechanisms of platform federation that are key technical enablers, made possible through a strong consortium that includes an impressive list of grid operators as well as key IT actors, leading research institutions and two of the most relevant grid operator associations. As part of its broader plan, the project will mobilise the international energy community via a large-scale forum. OneNet project aims at developing an open and flexible architecture to transform the actual European electricity system, which is often managed in a fragmented country- or area-level manner, into a pan-European smarter and more efficient ecosystem, where market and network technical operations are reciprocally coordinated closer to real time:

i) among them,

ii) across different countries

iii) while maximizing the consumer capabilities to participate in an open market structure

OneNet objectives include the design of a new market structure based on the analysis of the present gaps between the proposed, theoretical, new market design and the current practice adopted in Europe. The ongoing tasks are monitoring the progress of the pilots with regards to the new market model and provide guidance to mitigate the identified gaps.

Additionally, OneNet aims at upscaling, adapting, validating and test the proposed OneNet architecture. Initially the project collected and consolidated relevant use cases and solutions developed in previous European projects and then used the results of such analysis to define the specific use cases for the OneNet IT architecture as well as a first version of the architecture itself. The architecture will be continuously updated during the lifetime of the project, considering the experience gained in the pilots.

Finally, OneNet will take action in order to remove and overcome the possible barriers for the commercial use of the innovative OneNet market structure. The continuous design and implementation process of the OneNet architecture and reference implementation, based on the results and feedback from platform integration work and the pilots’ execution, will help to remove barriers that may impede commercial use after the end of the project.
