: Establishment of a FramewORk for Transforming current EPES into a more resilient, reliable and secure system all over its value chain
Suite5 role in eFORT was to lead the definition of the data landscaping and collection methods to feed the different tools and analytics developed during the project, as well as contributing to the definition and further demonstration of smart strategies for the isolated operation of energy islands.
eFORT approach aimed to enable the further upgrading of the energy grid without affecting the security of supply and increasing their reliability and resiliency against extreme weather events, man-made hazards and equipment failures. The project put in place a set of solutions at the cyber and physical layers for detecting, preventing and mitigating vulnerabilities and threats. Among them, an interoperable Intelligent Platform set a common foundation for grid characterization and vulnerability overseeing, as well as gathered information from smart grid components and applied heavy-duty algorithms, whereas Asset Management developments strengthened grid infrastructure robustness, which was empowered by the addressed Digital Technologies. All these elements were validated in relevant environments coming from 4 demo cases covering the whole grid value chain: (i) a transmission network (The Netherlands); (ii) a remote distribution grid (Italy); (iii) a digital substation in Ukraine; and (iv) a micro-grid in Spain.
