Summary:

Flexibility is key for the decarbonization of the energy sector, contributing to decrease uncertainty in the operation of distribution networks, due to the connection of renewable energy sources and electric vehicles. However, effective deployment requires interoperable and replicable solutions, technologically agnostic and independent from the role of each actor and market models adopted. This paper presents an overview of ongoing projects that aim to deliver and demonstrate interoperable solutions across the full value chain of the energy sector. The main objective and expected results of the H2020 InterConnect, EUniversal and OneNet projects will be presented.

Spanish layman's summary:

Este documento presenta una visión general de los proyectos en curso cuyo objetivo es ofrecer y demostrar soluciones interoperables en toda la cadena de valor del sector energético. Se presentarán el objetivo principal y los resultados previstos de los proyectos H2020 InterConnect, EUniversal y OneNet.
