3. About
• RESIDE stands for Renewable Energy Services on an Infrastructure
for Data Exchange
• RESIDE focuses on identification of interest and joint design of
renewable energy services that are grounded on and perform fine-
granular processing of semantic linked data, unleashing the current
large commercialization potential of semantic data.
• The RESIDE project will enable development and deployment of
highly personalized services based on sensor, smart meter and user
input data, applicable to the new scenarios emerging from the
renewable energy introduction and the settings of both Austria and
China.
• ÖAD co-funded
• Duration: 1 February 2013 – 31 January 2016

5. Background
• Joint (pioneering) work with Beijing University of Posts and
Telecommunications on applying ontologies to mobile communication
services
– Publication: Qiao, X., Li, X., Fensel, A., Su, F. "Applying Semantics to Parlay-based
Services for Telecommunication and Internet Networks", Central European Journal of
Computer Science, Springer, Volume 1, Number 4, pp. 406-429 (2011).

6. Motivation (common sense)

7. Motivation (political-economic, EU)
• Achieving 20% savings of energy consumption by 2020 through energy
efficiency is one of the key measures to keep CO2 emissions under
control
• EU’s goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 80–95 % by 2050 and
two thirds of the energy in the EU should come from renewable sources
• EU-wide introduction of smart meters - to be implemented within the
next few years - it is estimated that the “world will have 250 million
smart meters by 2015, representing a $3.9 billion market”

8. Motivation (scientific)
• Applied service science becomes of growing importance as we move to
a service economy
• Maturing of semantic technologies & their application in Internet of
Things scenarios
• Smart Grids bring a lot of data as well as new scenarios to work with it

9. Project Goals
RESIDE objectives are:
• To build an energy efficiency, particularly, passive house data
infrastructure, identifying common points of interest in relevant data
usage, based on the renewable service specification, smart home
sensor and metering data repositories that are available to the
consortium, with a semantic access and business models ensuring
the sustainability of the infrastructure maintenance and use.
• Build renewable energy related pilot services on this infrastructure
that can be eventually durably exploited with the use for both countries,
as well as enable and motivate third-party developers to build added
value services on this repository and benefit from them.

11. Use Cases
1. oriented at end users and their environmentally friendly behavior;
2. oriented at utilities and their needs such as tariff management and
energy market price prediction; and
3. oriented towards smart grid as infrastructure, e.g. adjustment of local
power voltages.

12. Project Tasks
• Organization of an initial consolidation workshop & subsequent
working meetings.
• Construction of an initial RESIDE data repository for large scale
renewable energy efficiency data.
• Extension of the RESIDE data repository.
• Development of business models to attract stakeholders and to
generate an ecosystem of service providers addressing end energy
consumers based on data for energy efficiency.
• Fostering enablement and openness for third-party service
developers incentivizing and assisting them to generate, deploy on
the marketplace and benefit from that.
• Development of RESIDE renewable energy services for
identified use case scenarios and their evaluation in an
environment consuming real-world data.
