“Expanding the Scope of CEF Digital to the Smart Energy Domain”
February 25, 2020
FISMEP is a very important contribution to the FIWARE community. The work done in FISMEP flowed into a document titled “Expanding the Scope of CEF Digital to the Smart Energy Domain” prepared by the Institute for Automation of Complex Power Systems (ACS) at RWTH Aachen University , Alpiq, Engineering Ingegneria Informatica and Detecon, with the involvement of the FIWARE Foundation. The document is addressed to the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Digital Team and DG Energy in a joint initiative to expand the use of CEF Context Broker to the energy domain.
FISMEP Project Meeting in Gothenburg: Consortium visits the HSB Living Lab at Chalmers University of Technology
June 11, 2018
Only recently, the FISMEP project partners came together in Gothenburg, Sweden, for the first joint meeting since the project’s kick-off last December. Ulrike Rahe, Professor in Industrial Design at Chalmers‘ Department of Industrial and Materials Science, hosted the meeting and gave the consortium an inside look at the activities at the HSB Living Lab, one of the test sites for the Swedish field test.
Medium-Voltage DC Grid in Aachen
April 6, 2018
For the first time, RWTH Aachen University and FEN Research Campus are implementing a local medium-voltage (MV) grid which is exclusively based on direct current (DC). This underground demonstration grid will operate as a private grid within the infrastructure of RWTH Aachen University and will distribute electric energy between several large-scale test benches. In late March 2018, the beginning of the construction was initiated with a groundbreaking ceremony at RWTH Aachen Campus Melaten.
FISMEP Kick-Off Meeting: Project Partners Come Together in Aachen
December 15, 2017
On December 13th and 14th, the FISMEP consortium came together for the first time in Aachen, Germany, to jointly discuss the recently started three-year project.
A new project is always exciting for everyone involved. Therefore, the Swedish, Romanian and German partners of the EU project “FISMEP“ were full of expectations during their first meeting at the E.ON Energy Research Center (E.ON ERC) of RWTH Aachen University.
EU Project Launch: FISMEP – FIWARE for Smart Energy Platform
December 1, 2017
Not only due to the arrival of the mainly automated “digital age“, but also given the integration of renewable and decentralized energy as well as the merging of electric and thermal domains, the energy sector has an increasing need for flexibility. The EU project “FISMEP“ (FIWARE for Smart Energy Platform) targets this need by developing a cloud-based, service-oriented open source software platform (also referred to as FIWARE technology) to facilitate an efficient, automated and sustainable energy supply for single buildings as well as municipalities.
