Net2DG (Leveraging Networked Data for the Digital Electricity Grid) is a joint effort by eight European partners to develop a proof-of-concept solution for leveraging measurement data from smart meters and smart inverters in low-voltage (LV) grids. The Net2DG solution correlates these data with information from existing DSO subsystems, in order to enable and develop novel LV grid observability applications for voltage quality, grid operation efficiency, and LV grid outage diagnosis.

“Most importantly, we should start acting thoughtfully and consider the potential risks of data as currency. As a high priority, democratic states should promote and support the responsible handling of data.” Helmut-Martin Jung: Escaping the Data Dilemma (Auswege aus dem Daten-Dilemma); Süddeutsche Zeitung, sueddeutsche.de/digital; 2017-12-20, 13:00 (German, translation Manfred Reitenspieß)
As previously reported multiple times (Digital Sovereignty – Participate! Contribute!, Whitebook Digital Platforms in the Making), the German Federal Government is working on a strategy for digital platforms. The announced Whitebook was published in March 2017. The most important results regarding the assurance of digital sovereignty – the central concern of in4com.de – are summarized below. However: civil society must remain vigilant due to some clear shortcomings of the Whitebook. Furthermore, the secret international negotiations of free trade agreements (above all TiSA – Trade in Services Agreement, we reported on this) are expected to have strong negative impacts on privacy […]
2016 Leaks from the TiSA negotiations held in secrecy (Trade in Services Agreement) indicate that TiSA will foil the EU data protection directive of early 2016. TiSA must come under public monitoring and requires an eventual public vote!
Manfred Reitenspiess, owner of in4com.de, has provided extensive comments on the greenbook „Digital Platforms“ (Grünbuch „Digitale Plattformen“) as published by the German Government (we had pointed out the opportunity to contribute in „Digital Sovereignty – Participate! Contribute!). The received comments were summarised by the German Ministry of Economy and Energy BMWE. In4com.de comments were cited a number of times and are completely available for download. In a follow-up step (beginning of 2017) a whitebook is to be published as a step toward a German digital agenda. The whitebook shall come up with specific recommendations and calls for action with respect […]
It is no longer a question, but a fact that the Internet is in the car. After discussing a number of useful mobile services in passenger cars, we have to conclude that our digital sovereignty will be lost if we do not take adequate measures.
