•    Smart Home automated management
•    Photovoltaic (PV) power production forecasting platform
•    Smart inverter ancillary services
•    Demand response from smart appliances (OpenADR)

Demonstration services
•    Integration of distributed energy resources (DER), standards and grid codes
•    Interoperability and communication testing
•    Grid assets monitoring based on IIoT devices
•    Solar PV production forecasting (day- and hour-ahead) and load forecasting
     (short-term)
•    Forecast-based grid condition simulation
•    Assessment of demand response in future smart grids
