Mission and Vision:
Engage, organise, contribute and initiate activities and thought leadership contributions related to the European energy transition goals and initiatives, striving to make an impact and shape future developments towards 2030 and 2050 EU targets. Advance digitalisation in Energy innovation and R&I.
Scope:
Energy, Flexibility, Electrification, Digitisation, Renewables, Resilience, Cross-domain interoperability, Socio-economic impact, Industrial competitiveness, Cross AIOTI WGs collaboration. Role of digitalisation of energy in climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Objectives:
Policy and Standards
Contribute to the EU policy debate and implementation plans on energy, energy transition, energy efficiency, climate change providing thought leadership and practical insights related in particular to digitisation of the energy systems and electrification.
The main topics: advanced digitalisation technologies impact on energy sector, AI and Digital Twins in energy, distributed generation and management models, including energy communities, sector integration grid flexibility resilience, cross-domain interoperability and orchestration. Application of computing continuum onto the energy sector.
Transversal topics: demand response and distributed/decentralized energy models, energy poverty, edge computing, use cases development AI in energy.
Provide Test beds catalogue contributions through facilitation of discoverability and applicability of WG members infrastructures.
Research and Innovation
