6. Digitisation of the energy system
Multiplication of connected objects (Internet of Things)
Develop the future energy system – increase the digital capacity of the energy sector for the benefit of a system that is able to integrate higher shares of RES and promotes energy efficiency
Exponential increase in Generation of data (Big Data)
Reliable & Secure energy & telco infrastructure

7. Digitisation to support the energy transition
Horizon2020 – key calls: work programme
Active network management: procurement of services by network operators in markets and on platforms
Optimise asset management through a toolbox for data analysis, management, processing
Interoperability for smart homes, buildings and grids
Develop, test and demonstrate Cyber-security technologies for the electricity system; 5G

8. LC-SC3-ES : TSO – DSO – Consumer: Largescale demonstrations of innovative grid services through demand response, storage and small-scale (RES) generation
Rationale (why?):
Demonstrate at a large-scale how markets and platforms enable electricity TSOs and DSOs to procure energy services from large-scale and small-scale assets connected to the electricity network.
Key issues:
will lead to the development of a seamless pan-European electricity market that makes it possible for all market participants (if necessary via intermediaries such as energy suppliers or aggregators) to provide energy services in a transparent and non-discriminatory manner;
enables TSOs and DSOs to give incentives to connected consumers, buildings, devices (including small-scale generation) to improve predictability and anticipate problems, based on jointly developed grid- models;
defines and tests 1) standardised products and key parameters81 for grid services; 2) the activation process for the use of assets for network services; 3) the settlement process for payment related to the services;
, through a combination of local markets with wholesale & balancing markets, in a way that will increase cost-efficiency in (future) network operations and that creates consumer benefit
provide the foundations for new network codes, particularly on demand-response. In so doing they will contribute to opening up significant new revenue streams for consumers to provide grid services, and increase the share of RES in the electricity system.
(including through local markets) for consumers that provide the grid services, taking into account tariff and tax systems

9. LC-SC3-ES : TSO – DSO – Consumer: Largescale demonstrations of innovative grid services through demand response, storage and small-scale (RES) generation
Key issues:
facilitates scaling up the platforms and markets to spread its wider use and to increase liquidity, in particular by facilitating integration of small-scale and large-scale assets, and by integrating new services into existing platforms and/or links new services to existing markets as much as possible, by allowing to integrate future network services that support the energy network transition (e.g. those needed in scenarios with large RES penetration) and by being compatible across borders in line with EU rules on market coupling and balancing;
allows procurement based on the specific location and grid conditions (if necessary);
, through a combination of local markets with wholesale & balancing markets, in a way that will increase cost-efficiency in (future) network operations and that creates consumer benefit
provide the foundations for new network codes, particularly on demand-response. In so doing they will contribute to opening up significant new revenue streams for consumers to provide grid services, and increase the share of RES in the electricity system.
(including through local markets) for consumers that provide the grid services, taking into account tariff and tax systems

10. LC-SC3-ES : TSO – DSO – Consumer: Largescale demonstrations of innovative grid services through demand response, storage and small-scale (RES) generation
Key issues (how?):
Define the needs of network operators for system operation, and turn these into services and products, based on interaction with suppliers, aggregators and energy service companies, that test what services can be provided by what assets;
Test the needs of network operators and technological capabilities of the assets, including to ensure reliability of supply;
Identify the relevant system data that enable market participants to better assess and forecast the need for grid services and publish such data (as much as possible);
Test innovative ways to promote consumer participation, engagement and perception, such as peer-to-peer trading, and innovative ways to reduce transaction costs, such as via distributed ledgers (blockchain);
investigate the possibilities for innovative pricing and compensation;
Expected impact:
demonstrating cost-efficient & replicable model(s) for electricity network services that can be scaled up to include networks operated by other TSOs and DSOs;
