Executive Summary
The purpose of the FINESCE roadmap is to identify and document key use cases and
innovations. All developments belonging to the individual Work Packages are to be analysed
and a draft of a vision for future applications from a customer perspective to be developed.
Furthermore, the planned deployment of external technologies within the architectures of the
Work Packages – first and foremost the Generic Enablers of the Future Internet – is to be
analysed and documented.
The FINESCE roadmap is an activity accompanying the setup of the trial architectures within
the different Work Packages. This means, that this document and the roadmap will experience
further iterations along the course of the project. In a first step – which is described in this
document – individual roadmaps on WP-level are documented, describing the WP-internal
innovations, developments and external technologies. This status will evolve as the Work
Packages further investigate the Generic Enablers and their possible deployment in the trial
architectures.
Primarily, the roadmap aims to coordinate trial site activities and goals. Additionally, this report
is used as input for the student case competition and open calls for Innovation and Business
Impact. It also illustrates FINESCE objectives and strategies for FI-PPP phase 2, and provides
support for Smart Utility Future Internet-based applications in phase 3 and beyond.

1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose of this report
The purpose of the FINESCE roadmap is to identify and document key use cases and
innovations. All developments belonging to the individual Work Packages are to be analysed
and a draft of a vision for future applications from a customer perspective to be developed.
Furthermore, the planned deployment of external technologies within the architectures of the
Work Packages – first and foremost the Generic Enablers of the Future Internet – is to be
analysed and documented.
The FINESCE roadmap is an activity accompanying the setup of the trial architectures within
the different Work Packages. This means, that this document and the roadmap will experience
further iterations along the course of the project. In a first step – which is described in this
document – individual roadmaps on WP-level are documented, describing the WP-internal
innovations, developments and external technologies. This status will evolve as the Work
Packages further investigate the Generic Enablers and their possible deployment in the trial
architectures.
1.2 Scope and target audience of this report
Primarily, the roadmap aims to coordinate trial site activities and goals. Additionally, this report
is used as input for the student case competition and open calls for Innovation and Business
Impact. It also illustrates FINESCE objectives and strategies for FI-PPP phase 2, and provides
support for Smart Utility Future Internet-based applications in phase 3 and beyond.
1.3 Relationship to other and previous work
The work documented here is performed in context of Task 6.2. It uses the deliverables D1.1,
D2.1, D3.1, D4.1 and D5.1 as input and initial starting point for the formulation in the roadmap.
In further steps, the roadmaps have been refined, extended and aligned in workshops with the
Work Package teams.
2. Roadmapping methodology
2.1 Objective
The objective of the FINESCE roadmap is first to identify and gather interdependencies of
technologies, competencies and resources on the one hand and products, services as well as
internal and external drivers on the other hand. Second goal is to create a mutually awareness
of general activities and developments taking place within all trial sites and synchronize
research and approaches, with the aim of enhancing cross-WP communication from the
beginning and to pursue a common approach strategy regarding upcoming similar tasks, and to
foster communication and interdisciplinary cooperation.. Additionally, intended cross work
package interactions shall be supported and documented.
2.2 Methodology
The FINESCE roadmap mainly consists of three individual layers. Fehler! Verweisquelle
konnte nicht gefunden werden. gives an overview over the structure and the content of the
different layers. The top layer I “Core Innovations” documents key innovations and use cases as
well as external market drivers, such as legal or regulatory changes and shifts in consumer
behaviour or needs. The middle layer II “Applications/Services” depicts all the developments
performed within the WP, including developed applications and services, established
architectures and concepts, specifications and standards and other solutions required to
achieve the key innovations. The bottom layer III “Technologies” shows any external
FINESCE D6.4 v0.1
© FINESCE project Page 7 (17)
technologies – especially Generic Enablers – to be used within the trials. Hence this layer
gathers all out-of-the-box solutions and already existing results to be deployed and used.
Graphically, the roadmaps are made up of three layers populated with white blocks. The size of
the blocks generally correlates to their respective importance. Non-white blocks are either
green, marking them as generic enablers, or blue, marking them as external market drivers.
Figure 1: Structure of FINESCE roadmap
The described three layers of such a roadmap are further interconnected. Arrows between the
elements in each of the layers – namely innovations, applications/services or technologies –
illustrate interdependency between those elements. E.g. an arrow showing from a technology to
an application/service represents that this technology is used for the application/service pointed
at. Further, applications/services can build on each other or enable an innovation. Generally
speaking, an arrow going from element X to Y means that X is required for Y.
The last important aspect of the roadmap is an additional column to the very right of the
roadmap. Here, any future (e.g. FI-PPP phase 3) developments and targets can be
documented.
2.3 Timeline for FINESCE Roadmap
To create the FINESCE Roadmap, two steps are taken. First, individual roadmaps for each of
the Work Packages (or stream within a Work Package) have to be set up. This allows a faster
and more targeted approach in creating the roadmaps. The result of this step is documented in
this deliverable. Secondly, the individual roadmaps are consolidated and combined in order to
identify possible synergies in the developments of the different WPs, which will be delivered in
month 18.
Aside from this two-step-approach the roadmaps of each of the WPs are subject to continuous
change. In the process of evaluating the GEs and their possible deployment and
implementation for the trial architectures, their integration into the architecture might shift,
additional GEs might be required or originally planned ones become obsolete. This means that
the roadmaps need to be continuously updated.
FINESCE D6.4 v0.1
© FINESCE project Page 8 (17)
Initial workshops for each trial site with key partners took place at the trial sites to develop an
overview regarding market drivers, available external technologies and applications and
developments. An outline of market drivers, applications/services as well as external
technologies with their interdependencies was developed. Information regarding risks and
possible problems as well as interdependencies and tasks for necessary WP-internal
implementations/developments to achieve the trial site specific targets were documented.
The current document hence reflects step 1 of the process in creating the FINESCE roadmap:
individual roadmaps for each of the WP. This status will be updated in month 18, when
interdependencies and connections will be once more verified and reviewed. Additionally, high-
level elements of the roadmap, such as overlaps or interferences, will be identified and
synchronization will be performed. This will results in the FINESCE roadmap.
3. Roadmaps
3.1 WP1: FI providing the sustainable smart city energy eco-system
External technologies used in WP1 include a Home and a Building Management System as well
as external data sources such as weather, price and grid data. Additionally, the generic
enablers Data Context, CEP, Big Data as well as Access Control and Identity Management are
used.
Both, Management Systems as well as external data sources along with a Load Forecast are
necessary to establish the Portfolio Manager. For the API Proxy and Management of Access
Control GEs are deployed. The Portfolio Manager in turn feeds the API Proxy, Data Center,
Analytics and the Development of Optimization Algorithms. Finally, Products and Services
include a Proof of Concept and Scale-Up Strategy, Visualisation as well as 3rd
Party Services
and Apps (phase 3).
Optimization Algorithms lead to Cost Optimization by Price Signals and Optimization of demand
by energy mix signals, resulting in optimized usage of energy. External market drivers include
climate contracts, commitments to owners, market interest and political targets.
WP1 builds on existing technology for smart homes and supplements them with Future Internet
technologies to build the technical foundation for business models exploiting the flexibility of
private household energy consumption. The optimization algorithms and methods can create a
viable business model by means of demand side management.
3.2 WP2 Stream 1: FI for end users of energy eco-systems, Smart Region
External Technologies used in WP2 include multiple smart meters (heat, electricity) and sensors
air quality), as well as supply technologies and EVs. External data sources provide information
about weather, price, grid data, etc. Generic Enablers in WP2 include Context Broker, Gateway
Device Management, Gateway Protocol Adapter, Gateway Data Handling, Access Control and
Identity Management.
Products and Services in WP2 are implemented via the following eight steps: Initial Structural
Trial, Integration of House Controller, Integration of Physical Equipment, Integration of External
Data Sources, Performing Remote Control, Integration with GEs, Testing Algorithms (Prosumer
and Micro Grid Algorithm) and finally an API Test.
Baseline Measurement starts after step three, enabling information about energy consumption
to residents and triggering user involvement as market driver. Following step five, the smart grid
is launched and roll-out of EVs begins. Phase 3 consists of peak load shaving in the electrical
grid, building and validating forecast profiles as well as smart grid functionality for OEMs.
The system deployed in the smart region is a key aspect in terms of the integration architecture
of several different technologies and Generic Enablers. As higher flexibility by prosumers will be
FINESCE D6.4 v0.1
© FINESCE project Page 9 (17)
required to allow for decentralized energy production, WP2 Stream 1 will show the technical
feasibility of such infrastructures.
3.3 WP2 Stream 2: FI for end users of energy eco-systems, Smart
Building
Generic Enablers used in WP2 Stream 2 include Location, Big Data Analysis, Data Handling
PLL, Publish/Subscribe Context Broker and Context Awareness Platform. Additional external
technologies are Meters, Gateways, Power Analysers, Sensors, Root Nodes, Weather Services
and the building blocks of a micro-grid. Those include Solar Panels and Wind Power Emulators /
Modules, Inverters, Electronic Storage Systems and Loads.
Afterwards, these external technologies are combined to make up the Building Control Centre
(monitoring and concentrating energy information of different buildings), a Wireless Sensor
Network (as physical implementation of all devices), the already-mentioned Micro-Grid
(integrating technology to develop monitoring and management applications) as well as a
Weather Forecasting (developing new products from already developed software).
WP2 Stream 2 drives existing technology for smart office buildings one step further and shows
close-to-market solutions, which can already actively support building management.
3.4 WP3: FI developing the B2B energy ecosystem
Apart from the Generic Enablers IoT, CEP, App Mashup and Security, the only external
technologies used in WP3 are Modbus / Profinet, Metering Technology and Fiber to the Cloud.
The ability to connect a variety of different machines and DERs is part of the main Products and
Services developed within this WP. Other important developments in this context are an
adequate Data Aggregation and Identity Management as well as the deployment of an API for
use with 3rd
Party Services and Apps. Furthermore, a Cross-Border VPP Manager is developed
and Grid & DER Simulation takes place.
Manufacturing Event Handling with an integrated Energy Efficiency Evaluation and combined
with the flexible energy prices provided by cross-border VPP management, will support a higher
use of renewable energy in manufacturing. For the VPP, regulations and business profitability
are the main obstacles to full market exploitation. The ICT infrastructure developed within WP3
allows for the management of such a VPP. The smart factory performs a field study of the
potentials of load shifting in discrete manufacturing. Given the current legal and economic
circumstances, such solutions will not be deployed in the near future.
3.5 WP4: FI building the Energy Marketplace
External Technologies in use for WP4 include only Generic Enablers: Context Broker, Big Data
Analysis, CEP, App Mashup, Data Handling and Security.
A combination of the Context Broker, Big Data Analysis and CEP GEs allows in a first steps the
processing of several kinds of data like social events repository, weather data, metering data,
energy dynamics and contract information and thus form the starting point for all Products and
Services of this WP. Through the integration of subjective data, an issue detector, regulation
compliance and contract management as well as Integration of a Contract Manager and
Interactive marketplace as interface to end-users is developed. Additionally, validation takes
place and an API is developed .
Market-side components include external drivers such as EU 2020 Targets as well as the
minimization of grid instability, increased demand flexibility, income maximization on both
retailer and consumer side as well as prosumer involvement. Finally, to increase the usage of
renewable energies, a new aggregator business model for the energy market emerges.
FINESCE D6.4 v0.1

WP4 investigates the possibilities of an energy marketplace in the area of the distribution grid.
The trial investigates the technical feasibility and potential use cases of such an approach to
validate the market application.
3.6 WP5: FI in electricity in action
Usage of external technologies in WP5 includes GEs such as Cloud Edge and Authentication or
other from the Security technical chapter as well as Data Connections, Weather forecasts as
well as Distribution PQ Monitors and Smart Charging Stations.
To optimize EV Charging, Renewable Supply Forecasts as well as an Integrated System
comprised of a Charging Management System, Distribution DR Management and Smart Grid
Communication Network is used. Additionally, Inter-Substation Communication and an API for
remote controlled Charging and possible 3rd
Party Services and Apps are developed.
The Market’s target of Local Balancing is implemented via EVs in the grid and Grid Anomaly
Handling through Auxiliary Grid Services. In phase 3, this could lead to an automated grid
leaning towards 100% Renewables.
The WP5 solution has three major dependencies for market exploitation: First, sufficient EVs
need to be in use in a region that they have an effect if they are controllable by an energy
provider. The second dependency is market acceptability of the service by the customers. This
dependency is on the profitability of the service.

4. Conclusions
The presented roadmaps depict the current status of the design within the different trials. This
status will evolve as the Work Packages further investigate the Generic Enablers and their
possible deployment in the trial architectures. Another iteration of this deliverable will be created
by Month 18 to reflect the changes and updates on the individual roadmaps as well as to
illustrate and document the consolidated FINESCE roadmap.
However, in the course of the creation of the roadmaps some synergies between different trial
sites could already be identified. Those mainly refer to Generic Enablers used by different Work
Packages – e.g. the GE Complex Event Processing to be used in WP 1, 3 and 4, which requires
deep understanding of CEP as such and the aspects of technical integration – or other external
technologies – e.g. the Develco box used by WP 1 and 2. As identified in the roadmap, in WP 3
and 4 a similar development (automatic issue detection) is being done, but with different
application areas.
The roadmaps will further be elaborated in the coming months of the project to guarantee a
consistent and up-to-date status description of the whole FINESCE trial sites.
