Description

ExPEDite aims at creating and deploying a novel digital twin, allowing for real-time monitoring, visualisation and management of district-level energy flows.

Objective

  1. Increased number of (tangible) city planning actions for positive clean energy districts using the (proto-)PED design, development and management digital twin tools (based on pre-market research learnings) using open-standards based components which can be reused elsewhere.
  2. Increased integration of existing smaller scale management systems (e.g. Building management systems) with open-standards based operational city platforms using sectorial data (e.g. building data, mobility, urban planning, etc.).
  3. Enhanced data gathering approaches with identification of relevant  multidimensional data sets (e.g. meteorological, load profile, social, geo-spatial, etc.) high-resolution real-time data streams (e.g. renewable energy production, energy consumption), and relevant forecasting data, drawing also on the work of common European data spaces.
  4. Increased number of city planning departments / approaches using common data and (replicable) elements and processes.
  5. Consolidated city sensor network specifications, complemented by appropriate data gathering approaches for soft data.
  6. Improved performance of AI based self-learning systems for optimization of positive clean energy districts and bottom-up complex models.
  7. Enhanced innovation capacity of local/regional administrations and accelerated uptake of shared, smart and sustainable zero emission solutions.
