ODEON to demonstrate data orchestration and sharing in Europe

The ODEON project launched in January with Horizon Europe support to introduce a data sharing framework for the twin green and digital energy transition.

The objective of the ODEON (federated data and intelligence Orchestration and sharing for the Digital Energy transitiON) project is to create “an inclusive ecosystem of stakeholders characterised a mesh of data, intelligence, service and market flows”, the project brief reads – and thereby jointly enabling the resilient operation of the energy system under increased renewables integration and distributed flexibility.

Specifically, the project aims to introduce a federated technological framework, i.e. a cloud-edge data and intelligence service platform, and the corresponding federated energy data spaces and smart data/AIOps orchestrators for the delivery of a range of services in a system operating with a high degree of flexibility from distributed assets.

Project goals include promoting connectivity, interoperability and seamless data exchange between the different stakeholders in the sector, prioritising privacy and data protection and enabling transparent energy transactions through tailored marketplaces.

The project’s innovations are planned to be validated in five large-scale demonstrators in Greece, Spain, France, Denmark and Ireland involving a diverse range of energy sources, networks, IoT infrastructure, systems and assets implemented across multi-climatic, geographic and socio-economic conditions from vulnerable customers to prosumers and local energy communities.

With this, lessons are expected for replicability and market uptake across Europe.

The ODEON project has a budget of €22.56 million ($24.3 million), of which the EU Horizon Europe contribution is €17.87 million.

The project coordinator is Spanish IT services and consultant organisation Etra and the project consortium is comprised of 34 participants from thirteen European countries.

With a four-year duration, ODEON runs to the end of December 2027.
