Bottom-up approach to Energy Services Platform

An architecture for a service-oriented open-source cloud-based software platform for the energy domain is developed based on an analysis of the results of the FIWARE-based FINESCE project. A proposal to incrementally develop the platform through a consortium of partners from utilities, ICT companies and service providers is outlined. This collaborative approach is considered to be sustainable because it allows easy and cost-effective development of commercial products based on an open-source platform.
