The energy sector is in transition. Firstly, the deregulation process forces companies to restructure their value chain in order to increase their market efficiency. Secondly, in order to reduce carbon emissions, the use of renewable energy sources is enforced by national and international regulations. Thirdly, smart metering is being widely adopted. The main goal of the MIRACLE project is to develop an ICT system that fits the future deregulated energy sector and enables the integration of a higher rate of distributed and renewable energy sources into the electricity grid. We will explore a micro-request-based approach for demand side management in which electricity producers and consumers issue micro-requests indicating flexibilities in time and amount of the electricity profiles. These requests will be processed by our system in order to balance electricity supply and demand in near real-time.
In this deliverable, we describe the conceptual architecture of the energy data management system (EDMS) developed in the MIRACLE project. The architecture reflects the hierarchical organization of the energy domain in balance groups and market balance areas. The requirements for the system are derived from the project goals and an estimation of the volume and number of messages exchanged within the EDMS and the volume of the data to be stored persistently in the EDMS.
A major prerequisite to design the EDMS in a way that it will be applicable to the future deregulated energy sector is to understand the current situation of the energy sector in different European countries and foresee its future structure. We therefore describe the current national electricity markets for some European countries in detail and compare the national roles to the roles defined in the ETSO harmonized model. We then describe characteristics of the MIRACLE system and based on that we specify three use cases that represent these characteristics. The processes associated with the use cases, the ETSO roles involved in them and the base processes identified are described and listed. The description of the MIRACLE role model reflects the status of the current discussion within the MIRACLE team. The final specification of the MIRACLE roles and processes is planned for the next deliverable (D1.2 Final role model and process specification). [read more]
