The overall goal behind Common European Reference Framework (CERF) for energy is to enable EU member states to be better prepared for energy crisis by empowering consumers to actively participate in solving the energy challenges thus improving grid stability in both proactive and reactive manner. All this by using innovative technologies supplied by the EU projects and organizations. The InterConnect project spearheads the CERF developments based on its experience in building cross domain semantically interoperable ecosystems capitalizing on the key enablers like SIF and DSOi. With these tools the key stakeholders can exchange knowledge in semantically interoperable manner and build energy apps using common enablers to drastically speed up the process of rolling out new consumer facing services.

An important feature of SIF and DSOi enabled CERF, is service chaining where data are transmitted among key stakeholders where each service adds mode context and knowledge to the grid signals and recommendations before presenting them to the end users. First, we start with what we call the mandatory energy app system configuration comprising two main services: 1. Grid service capable of providing grid signals to guide consumers; 2. Services that interface directly with end users – energy apps. Next, we add more types of services to the mixture like services from the energy market and retailers, energy management systems on home/building/community level and energy consumption monitoring and profiling services. The goal is to create ecosystem where these services can be chained in custom manner for each instance of CERF and energy app offering. This allows creation of highly customized and specialized energy apps with the same building blocks and capitalizing on the same interoperable data exchange facilitate with the SIF and CERF.

The interactions and integration of the supporting services for the energy app need to follow the InterConnect interoperability framework, as a fundamental building block to ensure that all developments made, independently of the stage, are prone to respect modularity, extensibility, and interoperability. Figure below depicts the supporting architecture that allow current and future developments for CERF instances and energy app demonstrators.

### Data Sources
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The PoC implementation of the CERF for energy includes two public data sources for grid side information collection. These two are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. [ENTSO-E transparency platform](https://transparency.entsoe.eu/) - central collection and publication of electricity generation, transportation and consumption data and information for the pan-European market.
|
|
|
|
2. [Electricity Maps](https://app.electricitymaps.com/map) - information about sources of energy and CO2 footprint of its production.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For each one of these data sources, WP13 provides data ingestion service with SAREFized interface (equipped with SSA and generic adapter – see below) so that data can be obtained through SIF compliant interfaces of other service/platforms. This enables integration of the two data services in every energy app demonstrator and this is how the interoperable recommender service obtains the necessary data for its operation. The goal is to continue adding new public data sources into the SIF enabled CERF ecosystem making it more comprehensive and data rich.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specific energy app demonstrators include additional data sources on national levels and also more restricted data sources like DSO level information and smart metering data.

### Interoperable Recommender Service
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The recommender is using ENTSO-E TP data source to shape the consumption shift recommendations for consumers (see Figure below). It is constructing hourly recommendations for the next day at 18:00 UTC every day for every EU country. The hourly recommendations are an extended traffic light indicating if, on a national level, consumption needs to increase, decrease or no recommendation is provided. This level recommendation can be further refined by other services/stakeholders/energy app integrators to include more contextual insights, better granularity grid needs and information from individual consumers.

## Energy App Demonstrators
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The project will demonstrate CERF as ecosystem for building energy app demonstrators with the support of the Dutch, Italian, Greek and Portuguese pilots. All these pilots already feature interoperable ecosystems, end the energy app demonstrators will be built upon these existing systems. The Figure below showcases high level flow of information in a typical energy app demonstrators. The grid needs are communicated through a set of interoperable services towards the energy app backend. The recommendations are shaped along the way and finally communicated to the consumers through an engaging UI (mobile app or web app). In all four energy app demonstrators the logic is the same as depicted in the figure, but the steps and intermediary services differ. The common components in all cases are the key enablers presented in this deliverable (recommender and public data sources) as well as the SIF and DSOi.

### Greek Pilot
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Greek pilot will provide consumption recommendations through the Energy Application which will be administrated by the partner AUEB which already provides mobile application for the purpose of the Greek large-scale demonstrator. The pilot leader GridNet will provide recommendation services and ingest public data on the TSO level (ADMIE portal). The recommendations will be performed based on information collected from HEDNO DSO interface, publicly available data sources on the grid status and restricted/private consumption data (smart meter data) collected and processed by the three SAREFized IoT platforms from GridNet, HERON and COSMOTE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Italian Pilot
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Italian pilot will provide consumption recommendations through the Energy Application which will be administrated by the pilot leader Planet Idea. The Planet App (already features the InterConnect service adapter) provided by Planet Idea already integrates multiple relevant data sources to be used at the generic recommender service. The recommendations will be provided based on the ENTSO-E TP interoperable recommender service and enhanced with the Planet App information.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Dutch Pilot
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Dutch pilot will provide consumption recommendations through the Energy Application which will be administrated by the pilot leader TNO. The recommendations will be performed based on information collected from STEDIN DSO interface and publicly available data sources on the grid status.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Portuguese Pilot
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Portuguese pilot will provide consumption recommendations through the Energy Application which will be administrated by the partner INESC TEC. The E-REDES will provide DSO level information and signals through DSO interface. The recommendations will be performed based on information collected from DSO Interface and ENTSO-E TP based interoperable recommender service.
