520 _ _ |a The InterSTORE project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme, addresses the critical challenge of integrating distributed energy resources (DERs) and storage systems into a decentralized, renewable-driven energy architecture. As Europe transitions from centralized fossil-based generation to a more flexible and resilient grid, the need for interoperable, scalable, and secure communication frameworks becomes paramount. Deliverable D5.2 documents the integration and testing of such frameworks across five pilot sites — Germany, Austria, Italy, Portugal, and Spain—demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of the IEEE2030.5 protocol deployed over the NATS messaging system. Core Objectives and Architecture The primary goal of the InterSTORE initiative is to enable seamless interoperability between heterogeneous DERs—such as batteries, photovoltaic (PV) systems, electric vehicle (EV) chargers, and heat pumps—and energy management systems (EMSs). This is achieved through the deployment of the IEEE2030.5 client – server library and Legacy Protocol Converter (LPC). With the latter mapping legacy communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, MQTT) with the modern IEEE2030.5 standard. The NATS messaging system serves as the backbone for real-time, secure, and scalable data exchange. Each pilot site implemented a tailored version of this architecture, integrating the LPC into local infrastructures and validating its performance under real-world conditions. Key innovations include containerized deployments (e.g., Docker on Raspberry Pi), and modular YAML-based configuration for protocol translation. Pilot Site Highlights The German pilot at Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) integrated high-power and high-energy battery energy storage systems (BESS), PV systems, and heat pumps into a unified control framework. The LPC was deployed on a Raspberry Pi, interfacing with both a commercial EMS (provided by EATON) and a FIWARE-based ICT platform. Key challenges such as Modbus register mapping, endianness handling, and logging overhead were successfully mitigated. CyberGrid’s Austrian pilot focused on residential energy communities. The Full Communication Chain (FCC) connected DERs via IoTmaxx devices, which hosted the LPC and communicated with the cloud-based CyberNoc EMS. Over 20 devices from various households were integrated, showcasing the applicability and scalability of the solution. Communication stability and control reliability were key focus areas, with robust testing and fallback strategies implemented. At Enel X’s XLab in Rome, the Italian pilot demonstrated end-to-end integration of diverse assets—including PV systems, multiple battery types, and V2G EV chargers—into a flexibility market framework. The LPC enabled dual telemetry and control flows between field assets and the EMS/Flex platform. Secure device registration via MID-PKI and real-time dispatch order execution validated the system’s readiness for commercial flexibility services. The Portuguese pilot tested the LPC in conjunction with second-life batteries and a newly installed ESS. Integration with the Capwatt Metering and Control Center (MCC) was achieved via Modbus TCP/IP. Despite initial challenges with register mapping and log file management, the pilot successfully demonstrated the LPC’s adaptability and resilience in an industrial context. Conducted at HESStec’s Advanced Grid Lab, the Spanish pilot validated the LPC’s role in enabling fast-response services such as black start, voltage dip compensation, and automatic transfer switch (ATS) operations. The hybrid energy storage system (HESS), combining batteries and ultracapacitors, was managed by the HyDEMS platform. Real-time SoF (State of Function) metrics and low-latency communication confirmed the system’s suitability for advanced grid services. Key Outcomes and Impact Across all pilots, the deployment of IEEE2030.5 over NATS proved to be a robust and flexible solution for DER integration. The LPC emerged as a critical enabler of interoperability, capable of adapting to diverse hardware, communication protocols, and operational requirements. Common challenges—such as protocol mismatches, communication delays, and system stability—were systematically addressed through software updates, modular configurations, and rigorous testing. The demonstrations confirmed that InterSTORE’s architecture supports real-time monitoring, control, and optimization of energy flows, laying the groundwork for future scalability. The project’s emphasis on open standards, cybersecurity, and modularity ensures that its solutions are not only technically sound but also aligned with regulatory and market trends. Next Steps Future deliverables will build upon this work by analyzing key performance indicators (KPIs) and benchmarking them against project targets. These analyses will provide quantitative evidence of the benefits delivered by InterSTORE in terms of flexibility, reliability, and efficiency. The project’s outcomes are expected to inform policy, guide industry adoption, and accelerate the transition to a decentralized, decarbonized European energy system.
