Important results from the project
The project has mainly achieved its objective by establishing basic technical structures, interfaces and sustainable working methods as well as a functioning and secure platform. Prerequisites for future external data sharing have been created. In addition, the project has strengthened collaboration between ABB, Skellefteå Kraft, Skellefteå municipality and Luleå University of Technology and increased organizational maturity in data-driven development.
Expected long term effects
The project is expected to contribute in the long term to efficient, secure and scalable data supply in energy and district heating optimization. The infrastructure enables advanced analyses, new services and shorter lead times through already established interfaces and security frameworks. It strengthens transparency, decision support and sustainable resource use as well as the digital capacity of Skellefteå municipality and the collaboration partners.
Approach and implementation
The project was based on a well-developed plan and target image, the extended project time allowed for valuable adjustments. Unforeseen factors - changed power issues, the need for energy storage and an additional partner, contributed to a deeper and more rewarding development. The collaboration worked well, everyone took responsibility for the development of the project, a clearer initial division of responsibility could have reduced technical disruptions and time delays in the final phase.
