This report is Deliverable D2.1 of the MAGNITUDE H2020 European project. The objective is to define the MAGNITUDE conceptual technical and commercial functional architectures to maximise the flexibility provision by multi-energy systems, stressing the overall organisational structures and high level simplified business use cases. These architectures and business use cases are then used in other Work Packages of the project, that define more precise use cases descriptions, tailored to their specific needs. Specifying the technical and commercial functional architectures of the project, implies the following activities: Describe the project concepts and high level conceptual architecture. Identify the project business use cases. Analyse the main relevant stakeholders involved in the overall process of flexibility provision by MES, considering the four energy sectors (electricity, gas, heating and cooling). Describe them in terms of their roles and their interactions. Using the roles and interactions, formalize generic conceptual technical and commercial functional architectures in the form of sequence diagrams which allow to describe the organisation of the stakeholders and the flexibility provision mechanisms. More specifically, Chapter 2 describes the MAGNITUDE main concepts and high level conceptual architecture. Chapter 3 is devoted to the identification and characterisation of the high level (simplified) business use cases that are investigated in the project. In Chapter 4, the concept of roles and role models is first introduced, as well as the main roles involved in the electricity, gas, heating and cooling systems, which are relevant for the MAGNITUDE project. The roles currently identified in the 7 case studies of the project for the 4 energy sectors are then described and the main interactions between the identified roles in the current situation are provided in the form of generic sequence diagrams. Chapter 5 describes the proposed interactions between the aggregation platform and the multi-energy systems for the provision of flexibility to the electricity systems and further extends the generic sequence diagram for the electricity system. Chapter 6 is devoted to the description of the roles and the interactions involved in innovative market designs proposed for multi-carrier market integration and hence the enhancement of the synergies at market level. Conclusions and future perspectives are given in Chapter 7. Finally, the appendices of Chapter 9 provide the results of the detailed analysis carried out for each of the 7 real-life case studies in the current situation for the 4 energy sectors considered (electricity, gas, heat and cooling), regarding: the stakeholders involved in the case study, the roles they carry out, the main interactions between these roles in the form of sequence diagrams. |
