Publicly Funded. Budget: €14.1M. 24 partners from 9 European countries. 5 large scale demonstrations in 5 EU countries.

The project will introduce a novel framework and reference big data architecture that leverages data, primary or secondarily related to the electricity domain. Data coming from diverse sources, such as APIs, historical data, statistics, sensor / IoT data, weather data, energy market data and various other open data sources will help the electricity value chain stakeholders to simultaneously enhance their data reach and improve their internal intelligence on electricity-related optimization functions. Stakeholders will get involved in novel sharing / trading models of data sources and intelligence, in order to gain better insights and shift individual decision-making at a collective intelligence level. In this context, SYNERGY will attempt to unleash the data-driven innovation and collaboration potential across currently diversified and fragmented electricity actors, acting as multiplier of the “combined” data value that can be accrued, shared and traded, and re-conceiving real-time data sharing against traditionally bilateral contracting applied in the electricity sector, to enable holistic optimization of the operation of electricity networks and the energy performance of their constituent components (RES plants, buildings, districts).

I helped design the strategy and will lead the implementation of living labs in demonstration sites to enable collaborative knowledge generation and integration, technology customization and validation against real market and user needs, as well as end-product definition and go-to-market strategy creation. عرض أقل

Leaning upon four demonstrations managed by large DSOs in Austria, Germany, Hungary and India, IELECTRIX aims to develop and demonstrate a set of solutions and tools for the optimisation of local energy networks to support the development of decarbonised local energy communities with a high replication potential in Europe and in India since allowing additional renewables to generate and distribute electricity at lower costs than a traditional grid reinforcement.

I am supporting GECO's effort on developing, implementing and monitoring the effectiveness of a common engagement strategy at customer and community level to be applied in the demonstrations as well as evaluating the approach across all pilot sites in view of future replications. عرض أقل

The project’s strategic objective is to improve energy efficiency in homes by developing a novel ecosystem based on understanding what drives customer behaviour related to energy usage. The ecosystem will be developed to enable and incentivise long-term energy consumption savings by leveraging novel IoT enabled, low-cost, “plug-and-play-and-forget” devices, energy disaggregation and an innovative empowerment and rewards approach based on an alternative CO2 virtual currency.

My role is to support the development of an ICT and data-driven customer engagement and communication process and its integration into the technological solutions and customer interfaces which will be tested and iterated in 3 pilot projects in Austria, France and Greece. عرض أقل

The project’s overall goal is to enable the integration of ever more intermittent renewables in European energy systems through the coordination of electricity, gas and heat networks and assets focusing on energy storage and conversion techniques. The simulation of the integration between electricity, gas and heat networks models, together with conversion/storage technologies models for power-to-gas, power-to-heat and virtual thermal energy storage, will help to understand and quantify how these conversions can affect network stability, reliability and responsiveness as well as to optimize these metrics across networks and avoid curtailment of renewable energy sources.

My role in the project has been to provide projections on the characteristics of future energy markets taking 2040 – 2050 as a time horizon to be used for modelling and simulation exercises as well as imagining future applications and customer value propositions for P2G and P2H market offerings. عرض أقل

Publicly Funded. Budget: €2.8M. 11 partners from 7 European countries. 5 demonstrations in 5 countries with residential users and office building occupants.

The project aims to provide a consumer-oriented behavioural change framework that focuses on the discovery, quantification and revelation of energy-hungry behaviours/activities and conveys meaningful energy-use feedback to motivate and engage users into a continuous process of learning and improvement. Facilitated by an open and secure ICT ecosystem integrated into the building, the solution will be further complemented with light-weight, human-centric, automated control features that consider occupant thermal and visual comfort profiles and supportively control HVAC and lights so as to further minimise energy waste, while always keeping occupants within acceptable comfort boundaries and preserving a healthy and safe indoor environment.

The project will, in its last phase, leverage on the findings to define, formulate and validate novel service-based business models for energy retailers.

My role in the project is to create the framework to integrate consumers' and market actors’ feedback into the development of the new services through a series of co-creation workshops, living labs and interviews, support the 5 energy utility pilot partners for the organisation and analysis of the outcomes. As the project developed, I also became very much involved in developing the front-end of the solution (segmentation, feedback messages, recommendations, alerts, interface) working with behavioural experts and IT engineers. عرض أقل

FLEXICIENCY aimed to facilitate the deployment of novel services in the electricity retail markets thanks to a European-wide marketplace for standardized interactions among electricity stakeholders, simultaneously opening up the energy market to new players at EU level.

The project involved some of Europe’s largest DSOs and energy suppliers (Enedis, Vattenfall, Endesa, Verbund, ENEL) as well as leading players in the field of smart energy (SAP, SIEMENS, CyberGrid).

My role in the project has been twofold:
- Supporting role in the preparation for the commercial exploitation of the marketplace i.e. identify exploitation strategies and assess feasibility of business models;
- Responsible for designing the evaluation methodology of the 5 demonstrations - including the commercial viability and business potential of the services tested. عرض أقل

Kalmar is a leading equipment, automation and system provider in the port industry. It has launched several fully electric product families and is on its way to electrify the rest of the equipment. It is also developing charging systems and load management solutions to enable customers to reach their green operation targets. To support their ambition, Kalmar was looking to increase their knowledge of the energy markets their customers are operating in focusing on 6 markets: USA (West coast and East coast), Netherlands; UK; Germany, Belgium. The study provided strategic insights into the price drivers and regulatory changes on the horizon in each location, the availability of various procurement options and other advanced market solutions that lead to cost savings and an increased usage of renewable energy (e.g. PPAs, demand response, load curtailment, battery power, etc.) through desktop research and interviews with relevant parties in each location.

Having wrote the winning proposal and methodology, I was naturally the project director, managed the relationship with the customer and ensured timely and quality delivery. عرض أقل

The pilots will serve as tests for integrating the electricity markets and balancing them via the eBADGE created platform and mechanism. My main role is to support Telekom Slovenia implement a pilot where major appliances from 120 houses will be automated and provide flexibility to a transnational virtual power plant. More specifically, I played a key role in defining the customer offering and the value proposition, the customer engagement strategy as well as the customer interface and the feedback messages. I will also support the evaluation of the pilot in terms of impacts on household electricity consumption and customer acceptability and assess the commercial viability of similar offerings according to a set of different scenarios. عرض أقل
