FEDRA selected in the ODEON Open Call, edge AI for home energy assets.
Our FEDRA project is one of 20 winners of the ODEON Open Call, selected from 336 proposals, to develop federated edge AI that checks whether household solar panels, batteries, heat pumps and EV chargers are performing as expected.

up2metric has been selected as one of the 20 winners of the first ODEON Open Call, chosen from 336 proposals submitted across Europe. With our project FEDRA (Federated Edge-AI for DER Reliability Awareness), we join the ODEON Support Programme under Challenge 2, Federated Edge-AI Pilot.
Across Europe, millions of rooftop solar panels, home batteries, heat pumps and EV chargers lose output without anyone noticing. A soiled panel, a misconfigured heat pump or an ageing battery can waste energy for weeks. Energy communities also cannot safely offer flexibility to the grid from assets whose condition is unknown.
FEDRA runs on a small edge device in each home. It compares every asset with its ODEON forecast, detects faults, drift and degradation, and explains in plain language what is wrong and how much energy is being lost. Models improve across homes through ODEON’s Federated Learning Engine, so raw household data never leaves the home.
Over the next ten months, we will build FEDRA as a service on the ODEON Cloud-Edge Data and Intelligence Platform. We will then validate it with prosumers at an ODEON pilot site, with the support of a technical mentor from the ODEON consortium. The work builds on our experience in energy digital twins, anomaly detection and edge AI from projects such as SINCERE and AGRO-WELL.
