The aim of the EU-funded H2020 project PLATOON was to digitalise the energy sector, enabling thus higher levels of operational excellence with the adoption of disrupting technologies.
During the project, PLATOON has deployed distributed edge processing and data analytics technologies for optimized real-time energy system management in a simple way for the energy domain expert. The data governance among the different stakeholders for multi-party data exchange, coordination and cooperation in the energy value chain has been guaranteed via IDS-based connectors. The project has developed and used the PLATOON reference architecture, which was COSMAG-compliant, for building and deploying scalable and replicable energy management solutions, contributing thus to increased renewable energy consumption, smart grids management, increased energy efficiency and optimised energy asset management, addressing the needs of various stakeholders along the value chain of the energy sector.
The project has been validated in 7 pilots in 5 countries that provided real Energy Big Data cases. PLATOON has facilitated the technology transfer into the market through a well-established tendering process via Open Calls.
PLATOON has reinforced the European efforts for the modernisation of the European electricity grid, as it focused on new smart grid services through data knowledge exploitation. Moreover, PLATOON has offered access to cheaper and sustainable energy for energy consumers and maximise social welfare.
Thus, PLATOON has contributed to the growth of renewable energy consumption, smart grids management, increased energy efficiency and optimised energy asset management.
