Pillar 3 - Data and Digitalization for System Integration

Pillar Lead: Craig Fraser (View more: Green Powered Future Mission (mi-gpfm.org))

Introduction: Led by the UK, this pillar will deal with digitalisation that has the potential to revolutionise the energy sector. It can optimise the use of networks and generation sources, support the coupling of different energy vectors and foster a faster electrification of end uses adding up flexibility from the demand side. By 2030, this Mission will accelerate the digitalisation of energy systems, by supporting globally applicable, flexible  and adaptive architectures for interoperable data exchange and effective system integration that can unlock the full value of renewables. Tipping points to be reached are: 

• TP3.1 – Standards for Interoperability: enough innovators and providers of smart technology take up common international standards so that up to 100% of flexible devices will be compliant with the interoperability and data sharing principles developed in this Mission by 2030.

• TP3.2 – Secure and resilient digital energy systems: the 2030 power system will be secure enough such that the procedures introduced will raise public and private sector confidence, so that the asset and network data relating to 60% of all electricity flows is shared or accessible using open standards.  

• TP3.3 – Integrated solutions: Improving operational control and contingency planning by increasing the level of coordination and speed of responsiveness across flexible assets providing balancing or ancillary services which represent up to 100% of operational needs through the integration of platforms and sectors (vectors) supported through this Mission.
