Meet the Task Areas (TA) of NFDI4Energy
In this section, we introduce the task areas (TAs) of NFDI4Energy to
provide a clearer understanding of our objectives and make our
consortium´s work more tangible.
The work in NFDI4Energy is structured in seven task areas - in this
edition, we present TAs 6 and 7, shedding light on NFDI4Energy topics
regarding Use Cases for Community Services (TA6) and Organization &
Management (TA7). These TAs play a major role in demonstrating the
practical application of NFDI4Energy services through use cases (TA6)
and ensuring efficient project management, communication, and
integration within the NFDI landscape (TA7).
_*Task Area (TA) 6: Use Cases for Community Services*_
▶ Brief overview:
TA6 focuses on applying and evaluating the services developed in TA1 to
TA5 through applications from energy research. The primary goal of TA6
is to define additional requirements from these examples, ensuring the
developed services meet the core needs of the energy system research
community. TA6 plays a critical role in demonstrating the usability of
the developed services, identifying new requirements, and generating
additional visibility within the community.
▶ (Interim) Results:
*
Evaluation and selection of a co-simulation scenario with
heterogenous simulators and real hardware from EnergyLab 2.0 at KIT.
*
The need for transparent and open comparative information and data
on long-term energy system scenarios has been discussed at the 1st
Conference on Research Data Infrastructure (CoRDI) and at the 1.
NFDI4Energy Conference.
▶ Next steps:
*
Compatibility check of simulators and co-simulation framework as
well as requirement collection for scenario ontology.
*
Integration of German and European long-term energy system scenario
data into the Open Energy Platform https://openenergyplatform.org/.
*
Publication of a website for the selection of flexibility models
based on given criteria and a Best Practices video on how the Open
Research Knowledge Graph https://orkg.org/ can be used for energy
system research.
_* Task Area (TA) 7: Organization & Management*_
▶ Brief overview:
The main goal for TA 7 is to efficiently manage and govern the
NFDI4Energy consortium. It is also necessary to ensure proper
accounting and compliance with legal obligations. In addition,
the organization of the internal and external communication
and information infrastructure, as well as the quality
assurance of the project and the project work are among
our responsibilities. TA7 also takes
care of the integration of NFDI4Energy into the NFDI landscape.
▶ (Interim) Results:
*
Formation of the Project Office (PO) to manage day-to-day operations
and maintain project oversight.
*
Establishment of internal communication frameworks to facilitate
information sharing and collaboration.
*
Achievement of initial steps toward integrating NFDI4Energy into the
wider NFDI landscape.
