The Smart Systems and Heat Programme commissioned a short review of international initiatives, particularly relating to heat. The work is intended to provide a digestible overview which links to the driving policies where appropriate, and complements a review undertaken during the scoping phase of the programme. This project specified the data system functionality and architecture that would fulfil the information and service requirements of a smart energy system. This included data security and privacy aspects
- Project specified the data system functionality and proposed architecture to fulfil the information and service requirements of a smart energy system;
- Functionality addressed the question of data security.
Two independent contracts provided an optimum solution: Hitachi Europe and energy & sustainability consultants DNV Kema worked independently on two 100,000 contracts to identify any data system constraints that need to be incorporated into smart energy systems.
