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)
The German Government is evolving its strategy on digital platforms, as we had already reported earlier (Digital Sovereignty – Participate! Contribute!, Whitebook Digital Platforms in the Makes). The expected White Paper has been published in March 2017. In4com.de has reviewed the paper and summarized the most important results with respect to digital sovereignty being at the core of in4com.de agenda. The civil society has to stay alert due whitepaper shortcomings. Also, ongoing international trade negotiations may have huge negative impacts on privacy and digital sovereignty (in4com.de has commented on this).
