- A framework Gaia-X e sistemas IoT para aplicação em contexto do sector da energiaPublication . Barros, Ricardo Miguel de Carvalho Barbosa; Pinho, Luís MiguelGaia-X aims to develop a common, secure, and sovereign data infrastructure for Europe that will enable the data owner to retain full control and sovereignty over the data while fostering collaboration between different sectors. This dissertation will therefore be conducting research on the application of the Gaia-X framework to the energy sector, specifically in leveraging decentralized data sharing for better management and innovation of energy. With Gaia-X has been planned to be secure, transparent, and efficient while guiding the transition towards more sustainable energy systems. The dissertation analyzes data spaces, its inner working and its ecosystem, the architecture of Gaia-X, from federation services over compliance mechanisms to components needed to implement a secure dataspace. Considering that the prototype was developed with many limitations, such as the early stage in development of the Gaia-X Digital Clearing House, and given that detailed documentation is scarce, it forms a very good basis with which one can improve. Despite these limitations, the dissertation provides valuable insights into challenges and opportunities that accompany the deployment of the Gaia-X framework in the energy sector. It highlights the necessity for further development both at the level of technical standards and at that of regulatory frameworks for large-scale adoption. Nevertheless, this dissertation corroborates the potential of the Gaia-X framework to support secure, decentralized data ecosystems as the key enabler for innovative and sustainable energy management, thus suggesting directions for further research and practical applications.
