Advancing the EVELIXIA Digital Platform: Integration in Action

The EVELIXIA project has reached a significant milestone in the development of its digital platform. The latest integration efforts bring together pilot sites, middleware, and services into a unified, interoperable ecosystem designed to support smart energy management at scale.

Connecting Pilot Sites

Pilot infrastructures are now exposing standardized APIs, enabling secure and seamless data exchange across the platform. In sites where actuation is required, communication with the EVELIXIA middleware is already operational, laying the groundwork for advanced control functionalities.

Middleware as the Interoperability Backbone

The middleware layer plays a central role in ensuring the platform’s coherence. Incoming data from the pilot sites is validated, transformed, and enriched, guaranteeing consistency and interoperability across all components and services operating within the EVELIXIA environment.

Service Orchestration and Execution

EVELIXIA adopts a modular, event‑driven architecture capable of supporting both Building‑to‑Grid (B2G) and Grid‑to‑Building (G2B) interactions. Services can be triggered automatically or executed on demand, providing flexibility, responsiveness, and high adaptability to real-world operational conditions.

Security and Controlled Access by Design

Security is integrated from the ground up. The platform relies on Keycloak-based authentication and role management to ensure that users, services, and external systems access only the resources they are authorized to. Data isolation is maintained per pilot site, ensuring privacy and compliance with project requirements.

A Modular and Scalable Architecture

Each component within the EVELIXIA platform operates independently and communicates through well-defined interfaces. This modular approach simplifies the onboarding of new pilot sites and services as the platform evolves, supporting long-term scalability and adaptability.
