The Platone consortium has an excellent starting point to connect to intermediaries and for cooperation due to its well-established collaboration network in Europe, with contacts to many key players of the depicted target audience and partners involved in industry associations, standardization, European energy governance and research networks as well as having an active role in other H2020 projects or initiatives.
Contribution to european joint RDI efforts
Three joint Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) efforts play an important role for the Platone project:
The European Commission initiative BRIDGE unites Horizon 2020 Smart Grid and Energy Storage Projects. The aim of BRIDGE is to bring these projects together to create a structured view of cross-cutting issues, which are encountered in the demonstration projects and may constitute an obstacle for innovation. Four working groups "Data management”, "Business models”, "Regulations” and "Customer Engagement” represent the main areas of interest as well as the three task forces "Energy Communities”, "Replicability/Scalability Analysis” and "Joint Communication”. Since the beginning of BRIDGE, numerous projects had the opportunity to join and participate in the discussions to develop strong analysis and build reports that supported the elaboration of EU directives.
ETIP SNET, the European Technology and Innovation Platform Smart Networks for Energy Transition, unites a multitude of stakeholders and experts from the energy sector. It provides input to the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) action 4 which addresses the technical challenges raised by the transformation of the energy system. There are five working groups and the National Stakeholder Coordination Group (NSCG).
OPEN DEI is a H2020 project for aligning Reference Architectures, Open Platforms and Large-Scale Pilots in Digitising European Industry. It aims at leveraging synergies, identifying gaps, sharing best practices, reinforcing regional or national relationships as well as putting in place the necessary joint measures to implement common dissemination, communication, training and exploitation action plans among the Innovation Actions (IA) selected projects and their Large-Scale Pilots (LSPs).OPEN DEI has created several Working Groups related to specific topics to serve the interest of the involved projects such as Platone.
Several partners of the Platone project are actively involved in the activities of BRIDGE, ETIP SNET and OPEN DEI. These synergies ensure that the main findings of the project are transferred in the documents that will be elaborated in the future activities of BRIDGE working groups and ETIP SNET white papers, roadmaps and implementation plans. Platone contributes to the activities of the BRIDGE working groups, contributes to the updates of the existing BRIDGE documents and provides input for the upcoming deliverables that will be drafted. Links are also established with representatives of the ETIP SNET working groups and members of the project contribute to the activities of the different ETIP SNET working groups. In the context of OPEN DEI the active participation of Platone partners allows continuous exchange
of the best practices with other projects focused on digitalisation and
put in place the necessary joint measures to implement common
dissemination and communication.
