In the context of Enlit Europe that was held in Paris from November 28 to 30, UBITECH participated in the OneNet project session. The vision of OneNet is to provide a seamless integration of all the actors in the electricity network across Europe to create the conditions for a synergistic operation that optimizes the overall energy system while creating an open and fair market structure. This synergistic process is enabled by open IT architectures that guarantee continental level interoperability. This new open architecture will provide new market mechanisms encouraging new business models which will be developed to support both large population areas and small- and medium-sized DSOs and TSOs, in Europe.

In the context of Enlit Europe that was held in Paris from November 28 to 30, UBITECH organized the BEYOND project final event. The BEYOND project, for which UBITECH carries out the overall project coordination, offers a big data platform and a set of technologies that allow a data consumer to search, find and utilize data generated by buildings (data owners). Based on these, the data consumers can run analytics and simulations that are needed to design a project and exploit them during the real-time operation of the buildings so as to optimize their operation and energy performance.
