Funded by the BMFTR, the project focuses on data ecosystems of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in collaboration with partners from industry and science. The aim of the overall project is to develop a smart energy ecosystem that scientifically investigates the collection, processing, and use of data from smart energy meters. The University of Siegen is working on two central topics within this project. On the one hand, it is concerned with the design of the platform and the question of how companies can be motivated to actively participate in and use the data platform. Second, it is researching how large, abstract amounts of data can be made accessible through AI-supported technologies, such as large language models (LLMs). The focus here is particularly on promoting data literacy and interaction with so-called counterpart technologies.
