Integrid - Bridging the Gap

19 storage. It was implemented as a cloud-based solution to support neutral standardized provision of services. The main goal was to facilitate market access allowing new business models and services, while also ensuring efficient and secure network operation as well as the highest standards of data security. This central platform should be perceived as an enabler of third- party services that can now emerge in the gm-hub ecosystem. The gm-hub also establishes direct cooperation between DSO and TSO, with the market operator as intermediary for the ancillary services market, in terms of flexibility pre-qualification, activation and management. Finally, it also enables the use of local flexibility for technical constraint management, particularly at the medium and low voltage grid level. Software The gm-hub architecture relies on a datacentre ICT type infrastructure, in this case SAP Cloud Platform. This requires the software component to consider a series of fundamental environment services to run, namely: instance management, authentication, identity provider or configurable high availability. On top of these environment services, the gm-hub encompasses a web-based application, providing a range of service APIs and on-platform services. Innovative features: • Standardized data format and API for flexibility exchange between DER/aggregators and DSOs • Data-driven services for domestic consumers hosted by the gm-hub platform • DSO as data facilitator to a large range of stakeholders.
