Advancing Energy Storage Integration with InterSTORE

In this episode, Professor Antonello Monti discusses Project Interstore, an EU-funded initiative aimed at integrating distributed energy storage and resources. The project seeks to hybridize and monetize storage flexibility using technology-agnostic middleware to simplify energy storage integration. Key points include addressing vendor lock-in, promoting investment, and leveraging IEEE 2030.5 standards to enhance interoperability. Additionally, data space technology plays a crucial role in monetizing storage and data sharing. The conversation also covers the significance of open-source tools and preemptive maintenance in ensuring the success and safety of these integrations.
