MAS2TERING CHALLENGES
•  Enhancing interoperability – to allow for convergence of network (ICT) and transmission (grid) protocols; •  Ensuring reliability and security – for trusted services provision and enhanced resilience; •  Enhanced flexibility and increased resilience – through decentralized and self-­‐organizing architectures; •  OpVmal grid monitoring and management – thanks to smart ICT components; •  Upgrading energy infrastructure – releasing investment thanks to innovaVve cross-­‐domain business models

MAS2TERING
solution
By carefully deploying the 3 use case business
methodologies within partner networks, and
studying the associated technical wins and/or
losses…
+
Developing an operational ICT platform which is
structurally sound, market-ready and cyber-secure
to any potential pre-emptive “Mis-Use” cases…
=
European vision of a low carbon electricity grid that
minimises greenhouse gas emissions; and enhances
security, quality and reliability of supply depends on
how smart infrastructures, combining energy and telecom,
are developed and implemented for the wider integration
of security-aware distributed energy resources into the
increasingly decentralised grid.

USE CASE #1 (HOME AREA NETWORK)
Secure and effec+ve connec+on of commercial home energy boxes with public DSO smart meters and consumer profile op+miza+on Research focuses
•  Customer-­‐side flexibility •  Interoperability •  Data privacy Expected outcomes
Actors:
•  Energy savings at domes/c level (10%) •  Effec/ve connec/on between DSO smart meter and smart home gateway •  Data privacy guaranteed •  HAN side energy consump/on data collec/on •  Scheduling of domes/c loads WEB www.mas2tering.eu EMAIL info@mas2tering.eu MAS2TERING | Thomas Messervey
USE CASE #2 (DISTRICT-LEVEL)
Decentralized energy management in a local area with Mul+-­‐Agents Research focuses
. Mul/-­‐agent op/miza/on to demonstrate the poten/al benefits of such a local energy management to DSO. . Data access control & security •  Analyse on test field the level of adapta/on of coordinated small local areas to contribute to DSO objec/ves Expected outcomes
•  Peak load reduc/on & energy savings (up to 12-­‐15%) •  Effec/ve data integrity assurance techniques •  Effec/ve sabotage preven/on techniques •  Results of the physical test campaign WEB www.mas2tering.eu EMAIL info@mas2tering.eu MAS2TERING | Thomas Messervey
USE CASE #3 (GRID BALANCING)
Enhancing grid reliability, performance and resilience Research focuses
Expected outcomes
•  Grid monitoring & balancing strategies •  Effec/ve connec/on between DSOs and such district-­‐level energy managers •  Grid losses reduc/on (5-­‐7%) •  Renewable grid hos/ng capacity (12-­‐15%) •  Reduced switch off /me per year Local or district-level energy
management, combined with
effective grid monitoring and
enhanced DSO / ESCO
connections can significantly
improve the flexibility and global
balancing of the grid.

BUSINESS MODEL FOCUS Classic “Utility” Model
WEB www.mas2tering.eu EMAIL info@mas2tering.eu MAS2TERING | Thomas Messervey
BUSINESS MODEL FOCUS The Landscape
WEB www.mas2tering.eu EMAIL info@mas2tering.eu MAS2TERING | Thomas Messervey
BUSINESS MODEL FOCUS The Landscape has Changed
WEB www.mas2tering.eu EMAIL info@mas2tering.eu MAS2TERING | Thomas Messervey
BUSINESS MODEL FOCUS And this gives the need to a new Business Model
Multi-sided, platform-based business model with supporting ecosystem
WEB www.mas2tering.eu EMAIL info@mas2tering.eu MAS2TERING | Thomas Messervey
BUSINESS MODEL FOCUS Select Open Research Questions
•  How willing would do you think customers (homeowners / businesses) would
be to allow active control of certain appliances as long as the terms with the
controller are clearly transparent and the cost-savings are worth your time?
•  What might be some potential financial incentives to align the interests of the
actors in the LV grid value chain (DSOs, Retailers, Aggregators, DERs)?
•  How do telecoms envision data services to utilities?
•  Which business processes are most interesting for utilities to innovate?
•  What are the benefits of local management to grid balancing operations
•  What are the actual benefits of using Link Boxes (to be assessed through
simulations in UC3) in terms of both reduction of grid losses and enhanced
balancing operations?
•  Who in audience knows of a similar business cases surrounding District
Energy Management?
