InterConnect

The 4-year InterConnect (Interoperable Solutions Connecting Smart Homes, Buildings and Grids) project aims to:
1. Design an interoperable marketplace toolbox supported by a novel IoT reference architecture that defines the interconnection between different digital platforms and aligning existing standards and ontologies like SAREF. It allows different stakeholders to focus on the development of innovative services towards a human-centric energy ecosystem.
2. Demonstrate through large-scale pilots the implementation of a digital marketplace composed by different platforms and showcase the satisfaction of energy users’ needs with cost-effective solutions. This allows different market agents to create their value, and simultaneously ensure high levels of cybersecurity and data privacy.
3. Co-create and involve citizens to design energy and non-energy services and applications that foster active participation in new business models and grid operation, while ensuring comfortable, efficient, sustainable and healthier living environments.

Funded by H2020 programme of the European Commission (grant agreement no. 857237), the project scheduled to be carried out from October 2019 to September 2023 has a budget of €35M
