Ericsson Estonia Laboratory
The objective is to test the SOGNO Reference Architecture both regarding integrations between different components as well as its compatibility to commercially available electrical equipment.

Location
Ericsson Estonia Elektrilevi Mektory Lab
Local situation
The Ericsson Estonia Laboratory is in Mektory Lab facilities and it’s managed by Elektrilevi. This laboratory is physically located in Tallinn Tech University campus in Tallinn, Estonia.
Trial Site set up and what will be done
This Laboratory site is focused on developing and testing the next generation of technologies and solutions for tomorrows grid needs. The main aim is to develop and prove cost effective and flexible solutions for the integrating of distributed generation of energy into the power network.
Ekeltrilevi partners with technology providers, universities, utilities and other interested parties to undertake the trial. The most importance competences of the laboratory are case analysis, creating the needed environment, simulating the solution in near real network situations, development, Testing, Commercialization among others.
Under these facilities the SOGNO Cloud Architecture will be deployed and tested. Data will be collected from devices and elements selected to run the test. The source of data will be real devices working in a simulated power network. DBMS and SCALA systems will inject the input data in the solution proposed.

Question 1: What is the special focus of the SOGNO demonstration site (especially compared to the other sites)?

The SOGNO Cloud Architecture will be test and deployed in the Ericsson Estonia Laboratory. The key elements to be considered for the implementation and demonstration of the trial are:
  • How SOGNO Cloud Architecture will get the input data and communicate from different sources and electricity commercial devices,
  • Which are the use cases, functionalities and data analyses that will run under the SOGNO Cloud Architecture.
This is the only one trial site that the SOGNO Cloud Architecture will be tested to evaluate the integration between different components and to test the compatibility with the available electricity equipment.

Question 2: What are the long-term benefits for your company you expect from being part in the SOGNO project?
 
Ericsson Estonia in SOGNO project will help to define the Cloud Architecture that will integrate different components and algorithms to manage self-healing and automated electricity networks. For Ericsson Estonia being part of this project represent the opportunity to achieve knowledge, develop innovative solutions and the possibility to be a referent in the electricity industry of the future.
