D1.3 Data Management Plan

The main objective of the deliverable is to provide a data management plan for the measurement data which is collected and the derived data which are generated within the PUSH2HEAT project.
The Data Management Plan is the central document describing the life cycle of the data from collection to archiving, including all measures to ensure that the data remains available, usable, and comprehensible (understandable).
During the project measurement data from the heat upgrade technologies (HUT) will be gathered at the three/four demonstration sites. This requires the installation of sensors and data acquisition systems on site. Furthermore, additional data sources such as the controllers of the heat upgrade devices and the process automation of the plants hosting the heat upgrade technologies must be connected.
This requires the gathering, extraction, processing, storage and management of data sets coming from the PUSH2HEAT demonstration sites. This document specifies the data management plan that will be employed by the PUSH2HEAT project to ensure that all relevant data management policies are adhered to and to ensure that reliable data can be extracted and used for the PUSH2HEAT project development.
This document is being developed in accordance with the H2020 Guidelines on Data Management [1].
This document is delivered in Month 6 of the project. It will be updated every 12 months and whenever it becomes necessary e.g. because of the integration of new data sets.
