Methodology
About Project
Data gathering and pilots characterisation
Establishing the project’s baseline. Given pilot differences, a detailed analysis of operation parameters, and congestion levels is vital for designing WILSON solutions. This prioritizes defining each pilot’s boundary conditions and KPIs for performance monitoring. Engineering requirements for deployment will be defined; each pilot already has a dedicated group to guide its characterisation. Lastly, a DMP will outline collection, processing, and storage protocols during the project.
Design of main solutions
Based on data from Phase 1, Phase 2 will align WILSON developments with demonstration needs and ensure modularity and scalability for post-project replication. This phase, emphasizing technical, environmental, and socio-economic considerations, relies on collaboration between academia, RTDs, and tech partners. By its conclusion, WILSON solutions will be ready for their actual development and programming.
Co-creation of technologies
Phase 2 will facilitate the full development of tools central to WILSON. The goal is to advance technologies to TRL5, in close collaboration with demo leaders in order to be aligned with their needs and context. The deployment and monitoring plans for demo sites will begin simultaneously, adhering to WP4 boundary conditions. All technologies and algorithms will be pre-validated separately to guarantee their safe operation in the next phases.
Integration and demo-site set up
Sutions will be integrated and tested at the Spanish living lab, prepping for TRL7-8. Any necessary system tweaks will be made, ensuring technology safety before large-scale demonstration.
Large-scale demonstration
After integration and validation in Phase 4, WILSON will demonstrate its solutions at various pilots, showcasing its ability to enhance building and portfolio management using lifecycle data.
Results gathering. Overall impact analysis and replication studies
All advancements will be thoroughly compiled, with results assessed using Phase 1-defined KPIs. Techno-economic and sustainability evaluations will guide replication and post-demonstration activities. Focus will be on current innovation barriers and regulatory challenges. Ad-hoc business models will be crafted, pinpointing exploitation, new market segments and market-entry strategies.
