Brief Description of Requirement
The aim of this work is to develop recommendations for future standards development to enable interoperable data sharing across a data sharing infrastructure for the energy system, based on a review of priority use cases and the existing standards landscape. The aim is to identify where existing standards could be applied, where they can be modified to meet the priority use cases, and to make recommendations where new standards are required.
The purpose of this work is to assess the standards landscape, conduct a gap analysis, and recommend next steps for the development of technical standards that will enable the interoperable exchange of data across various actors within the energy system. The sharing of data within the energy system will make a direct contribution to decarbonising the power sector by 2030 and enable several other policy objectives, including in energy equity and affordability, energy security, net zero, and economic security. However, the Digital Spine feasibility study, which included engagement with over 100 stakeholders, identified that insufficient data interoperability is a key barrier to data sharing within the energy industry. This work is a gap analysis reviewing existing and emerging technical standards for meeting the use cases identified by DESNZ, in order to recommend next steps for standards development, including where existing standards can be adapted to enable interoperable data sharing between energy system stakeholders and where new standards might need to be developed.
Objectives:
1. Review the priority energy system use cases as specified by DESNZ to produce a set of data types that would be shared as part of a data sharing infrastructure.
2. Review existing or under development standards, including:
a. Standardised data formats for each identified data type.
b. Proposals on how to handle private data or data with specific IP sensitivity, highlighting if/how present standards are planning to treat these data while enabling key use cases and ensuring data confidentiality.
Perform a gap analysis to identify areas requiring standards development to enable interoperable data sharing across a data sharing infrastructure
