D6.1 Design of the monitoring system and KPI definition

This deliverable presents the key performance indicators (KPI) that will be used to quantify the performance of the MiniStor system. The KPIs have been selected based on a literature review, a survey among project partners as well as indicators initially defined in the grant agreement. For each KPI, the required input (measurement) values are determined, and a calculation procedure is defined. Many of these KPIs will be measured through a monitoring system also specified in this document. This report also presents the monitoring system architecture, the selected hardware and the data flow process to collect the variables in order to aggregate, transmit and store them in a cloud-based IoT platform for data visualisation and analysis in compliance with relevant data safety measures. As each demonstration site has its site-specific features, the monitoring systems were adjusted to the requirements of each site. The respective adjustments have been described as well.
