HERON participates in the InterConnect research project
The four-year project InterConnect falls under the Horizon 2020 program and lays the foundation for the digitization of smart energy management solutions.
GREECE INNOVATES INTO THE EUROPEAN ROAD TO ENERGY MANAGEMENT IN SMART HOUSES AND ENERGY NETWORKS
Greece has gained a strong presence in the InterConnect research project (Interoperable Solutions Connecting Smart Homes, Buildings and Grids) through the participation of five Greek entities: GRIDNET, COSMOTE, WINGS, HERON and the Athens University of Economics and Business. This four-year project is part of the Horizon 2020 programme and lays the foundations for the digitalization of smart energy management solutions. InterConnect is focused on eight principal technologies: digital platforms, Internet of Things, cloud, energy networks, big data, cybersecurity, ontology and standardization.
All in all, more than 50 entities from the sectors of energy, telecommunications, industry and research in 11 European countries will work together to develop innovative solutions aiming at the digitalization and interconnection of smart homes, buildings and energy networks, through the use of cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain and the currently advanced SAREF protocol for direct networking of home appliances and sensors with energy networks.
Greece will be one of the 7 pilot test countries for these solutions. The emerging flexible business models will be implemented by the agencies involved in the operation of energy networks for the benefit of consumers and the environment. At the same time, the activity of start-up businesses will be supported by means of 3 open invitations for selecting and funding 42 innovative ideas.
The InterConnect project is funded by the European Commission in the framework of the Horizon 2020 programme (Grant Agreement no. 857237).
