NOO TimeSmart: Timeliness of Information in Smart Grids Networks

The MSCA PF project TimeSmart received further funding funded by ARIS through Načrt za okrevanje in odpornost (NOO) initiative (“krepitev mednarodne mobilnosti slovenskih raziskovalcev in raziskovalnih organizacij ter za spodbujanje mednarodne vpetosti slovenskih prijaviteljev” (sklop B)).

Scope of the NOO project MN-0009

The NOO re-integration Timesmart project aims to advance the practical deployment, robustness, and scalability of the approaches developed in the MSCA PF TimeSmart project. Building on the foundations of timeliness-aware data processing, AoI-guided forecasting, and intelligent energy management, the project will further integrate these components into cohesive, operational frameworks suitable for real-world use. A central focus is to take advantage of cloud infrastructure, ensuring that timely information can be processed, exchanged, and acted upon efficiently across distributed energy systems. The project will also explore larger and more diverse smart-grid environments to assess how these methods scale, adapt to uncertainty, and interact with complex community-level dynamics. Particular emphasis is placed on advancing and deepening the role of the Age of Information (AoI) in smart grid decision-making, testing how AoI-driven insights can improve responsiveness, stability, and coordination across households, storage systems, and electric vehicles. Through these efforts, the project aims to bring the developed concepts closer to operational readiness and prepare the ground for future pilots and broader adoption.
