| * | Abbreviated name: | eFORT | | | Project title: | eFORT- Establishment of a FramewORk for Transforming current EPES into a more resilient, reliable and secure system all over its value chain (Horizon Europe. Grant agreement No. 101075665) | | | Funding entity: | European Commission | | | Start date: | September 2022 | | | End date: | August 2026 | | | Researcher(s): | Gregorio López López, José Pablo Chaves Ávila, Javier Matanza Domingo, Rafael Palacios Hielscher, Néstor Rodríguez Pérez, Miguel Ángel Sánchez Fornié, Lukas Sigrist, María del Valle Varo García, Mario Castro Ponce, Jaime Pérez Sánchez, Farid Bagheri-Gisour Marandyn | | | Description: | Prompted by the need to comply with environmental and societal concerns, Electrical Power and Energy Systems are undergoing an unprecedented transformation, demanding urgent upgrades to make them more reliable, resilient and secure. Modernization of current grids will greatly reduce the frequency and duration of power blackouts, diminish the impact of disruptive events and restore service faster when outages occur, creating broad benefits to society and economy. eFORT approach will enable the further upgrading of the energy grid without affecting the security of supply and increasing their reliability and resiliency against extreme weather events, manmade hazards and equipment failures. eFORT addresses this complex challenge by gathering a consortium of 23 partners, from 10 EU countries, that provides the needed expertise. The project will 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 will set a common foundation for grid characterization and vulnerability overseeing, as well as gather information from smart grid components and apply heavy-duty algorithms, whereas Asset Management developments will strengthen grid infrastructure robustness, which will be empowered by the addressed Digital Technologies. All these elements will be 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. Moreover, eFORT relies on several horizontal actions aiming at empowering EPES players by establishing a common regulatory and standardisation framework, performing technical and cost-benefit analysis, and evaluating new related business models and replication potential, in the pathway towards a more sustainable energy system.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101075665

| | | | | | * | Abbreviated name: | TwinEU | | | Project title: | Digital Twin for Europe | | | Funding entity: | European Commission | | | Start date: | January 2024 | | | End date: | December 2026 | | | Researcher(s): | Javier Matanza Domingo, José Pablo Chaves Ávila, Néstor Rodríguez Pérez, Gregorio López López, Miguel Ángel Sánchez Fornié, José Portela González, Carlos Mateo Domingo | | | Description: | The TwinEU project is at the forefront of transforming the energy sector through a series of innovative actions aimed at enhancing the capabilities, interoperability, and performance of Digital Twins (DTs) across Europe.
- Cross-Domain Federated DTs: Bridging the gap between different DTs by utilizing existing Smart Grid standards, open APIs, and integration with TensorFlow Hub, fostering a seamless exchange of data and models across various stakeholders.
- HPC-coupled Federated DTs Infrastructure: Leveraging High-Performance Computing (HPC) to boost the computational power of DTs, ensuring faster and more accurate data processing for real-time applications.
- Dataspace Adaptation for Pan-European DTs: Facilitating the sharing and exchange of AI/ML models and data across Europe, with a focus on improving interoperability, lifecycle management, and cross-stakeholder collaboration.
- Closed Loop Adaptive Digital Twins: Evolving DTs to be context-aware, autonomous, and adaptive, capable of real-time decision-making and self-learning to enhance grid monitoring and operation.
- Immersive Metaverse-oriented DTs: Integrating DTs with immersive technologies to create user-friendly and engaging Metaverse-oriented experiences, improving workflows and stakeholder collaboration in smart grids.
The project's objective is to set the stage for a more integrated, efficient, and innovative energy sector, paving the way for smarter grids and a sustainable future. | | | | |
