13 Unternehmen der Zukunft 2/2013 UdZ FINSENY – Future Internet for Smart Energy and FINESCE – Future INternEt Smart Utility ServiCEs Applying Future Internet technology in the Smart Energy domain The Public Private Partnership (PPP) initiative „Future Internet“ derives requirements and deve- lops an architecture for the future of the internet from innovative use cases in several domains (e.g. Environment, Energy, Logistics, City Safety, Web Content, Agriculture). Together with key actors of the telecommunication and energy economy, Ericsson and FIR collaborate intensively within the project „FINSENY“ („Future INternet Smart ENergY“) in the E-Mobility scenario. This cooperation continues within „FINESCE“ which will be used to continue the development and evaluation of the FINSENY concepts in trials. The goal is a comprehensive information and communication technology (ICT) architecture which shall be tested in a pan-European trial af- terwards. FINSENYwas running fromApril 2011 to April 2013, continued by FINSECE that started in March 2013. FINSENY and FINESCE are funded under the grant agreement number 285135 of the EU-COM DG Information Society and Media. FINSENY The Future Internet comprises all kinds of techno- logies and conventions that will support commu- nication and interaction in a variety of domains. In particular, the energy domain requires more and more smart solutions due to the plentiful current and future challenges (e.g. increasing usage of intermittent renewable energies). Efficient usage of information and communication technology (ICT) requires new functionality at adequate prices. Therefore, key actors from the ICT and energy sectors in Europe developed FINSENY in order to identify ICT requirements and design a performing Future Internet Architecture for smart grids. FINSENY achieved the goal to define the Future Smart Grid which is capable to handle the fluctu- ations of renewable energies. Based on the Smart Grid Architectural Model (SGAM), the E-Mobility Adapted SGAM (EM-SGAM) was developed. The smart grid is a very important component for e-mobility. For this reason, the EM-SGAM was created to satisfy the requirements of electric mobility and continue to be fully compatible with the original SGAM. The unique contribution of FINSENY is to place the ICT requirements of the smart grid in the context of the common ICT requirements of a diverse range of applications, such as those needed for smart and safe cities, multi-modal travel and smart agriculture. FINSENY focuses on electricity energy transport and distribution scenarios. During the in depth analysis of these scenarios through use cases modeling techniques, many roles and stake- holders were identified. Their individual needs were translated to ICT requirements that lead to Future Internet ICT enablers. FINSENY was divided into the five sub-domain work packages “Distribution Network”, “Regional-/Microgrid”, “Smart Buildings”, “Electric Mobility”, and “Electronic Market Place”. FIR participated inWP5 “E-Mobility” (cf. figure 1). The results of the WP5 research were described in the public Deliverable figure 1: High level interoperability in FINSENY between work packages FIR-Forschungsprojekte Project title FINSENY/FINESCE Research Funding Organisation EU Commission – DG Information Society and Media Project Number 285135 Project Partner 33 European companies in the domains of ICT and Energy Contact Person Dipl.-Inform.
