This deliverable outlines functional and non-functional requirements and provides a roadmap for the development of the GOTOTWIN platform designed to support the monitoring of renewable energy systems, data-driven decision-making, operational efficiency, and stakeholder collaboration, ensuring it meets the operational, regulatory, and technical needs of the energy sector. It also addresses compliance with relevant EU regulations and standards to facilitate cross-border implementation. Deliverable D 1.3.2 - Digital Twin Requirements Specification

This deliverable explores the motivation, types, related technologies, and associations supporting the adoption of digital twins in renewable energy systems, considering them as a transformative approach to enhancing efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. It leverages EU initiatives (data spaces, SGAM framework, semantic interoperability) and research topics (AI models for building smart grid services) as a foundation for the GOTOTWIN platform design and future activities. Deliverable D 1.3.1 - State of the Art technologies assessment report

This deliverable provides a strategic basis for effective stakeholder engagement, maps the stakeholders per their functions and potential contributions, and confirms the strong foundation in existing energy networks. It also presents engagement framework, as relevant to the GOTOTWIN objectives, outlining already undertaken engagement activities and signed Declarations of Collaboration, which formalise partnerships and extend the project’s influence. Deliverable D 1.2.1 - Renewable energy stakeholder mapping and collaboration framework in the Adrion

This deliverable analyzes the renewable market in the Adriatic Ionian region, its growth potential, and alignment with EU targets. Digital twins are highlighted as key enablers for clean energy transition by optimizing resources, improving efficiency, and facilitating cross-country collaboration. The report recommends fostering collaboration between stakeholders, investing in digital twin technologies and aligning regional efforts with EU directives. Deliverable D 1.1.1 - Market assessment, needs and benefits from digital twins

This deliverable outlines the system architecture and infrastructure design of the GOTOTWIN digital twin platform, placing it in the wider context of renewable energy integration and cross-border collaboration in the Adriatic-Ionian region. The work addresses the key challenge of building a scalable, secure, and interoperable framework capable of linking heterogeneous Living Labs, enabling seamless data exchange, and supporting simulation, prediction, and decision-making for energy systems. The technical blueprint is designed around principles of modularity, scalability, interoperability, and security. It leverages open-source technologies, cloud-native deployment practices, and established interoperability standards to ensure flexibility and long-term sustainability. Core components include data ingestion, digital twin synchronization, historical storage, visualization, and predictive services, all organized within a service-oriented architecture. By establishing this robust foundation, the deliverable provides a solid technical basis for the next stages of platform implementation and integration across the region. D2.1.2_Digital Twin System Architecture and Infrastructure Design

The GOTOTWIN workshop in Kozani brought together all partners to push forward WP2 activities on the digital twin platform for renewable energy systems in the Adriatic-Ionian region. The meeting emphasized strong collaboration and focused on both opportunities and challenges in connecting diverse infrastructures and technologies. Participants updated the digital twin architecture, designed around WP1 requirements, which provides a modular and scalable framework. Built on a Kubernetes microservice approach, the platform is positioned to integrate renewable assets, sensors, and forecasts while supporting real-time monitoring, simulation, and predictive analytics. Smooth interoperability and coordination of AI/ML workflows for predictive maintenance and scenario forecasting were highlighted as essential. The four Living Labs—INNOFEIT, SMART, IMP, and EPLL—showcased their unique strengths, from solar PV, storage, and EV chargers to SCADA-based energy flows and regional monitoring networks. Harmonizing these infrastructures will enable cross-site experimentation, predictive control, and advanced energy simulations across borders. Discussions also stressed the value of combining high-quality energy measurements with meteorological and environmental data. Aligning sensor types and data streams is key to building reliable predictive models and optimizing energy production under real-world conditions. As next steps, the consortium agreed to finalize the digital twin architecture, integrate Living Lab data, develop virtual power plant models, and ensure cross-border interoperability, with iterative testing and flexibility guiding the process. D2.1.1_Initial digital twin platform planning workshop.

Deliverable 4.1.1 reports on to the first GoToTWIN workshop, held on May 15–16, 2025, in Kozani, Greece. The workshop focused on the integration of digital twin technology into the renewable energy sector, under the theme “Advancing Renewable Energy in the Adriatic-Ionian Region through the Use of Digital Twins.” Organized within the framework WP4 entitled “Strategies and policies”,the event brought together a diverse group of stakeholders, including policymakers, academics, engineers, local government representatives, and energy professionals. It was hosted at the UOWM campus and also broadcasted via Teams with remote participants from North Macedonia and Serbia. This deliverable summarizes the 2-day event as follows:

• Day one focused on the design and planning of the digital twin platform, including the selection of appropriate technologies, assessment of infrastructure needs (software and hardware), and the formulation of an implementation roadmap.
• Day two examined the broader policy landscape, highlighting legal and regulatory challenges faced by participating countries. Key issues discussed included cybersecurity, interoperability, data ownership, and stakeholder involvement. Presentations and roundtable discussions underlined the importance of regulatory harmonization, strong cybersecurity measures, and inclusive, transparent policymaking.

The workshop concluded that, while participating countries have made notable progress in the digitalization of their energy sectors, further efforts are required to enhance policy coherence, attract investment, and improve stakeholder engagement. The insights gathered during the workshop will inform future recommendations and actions at both the regional and European levels.
