Project Description

ELECTRON: rEsilient and seLf-healed EleCTRical pOwer Nanogrid

The Electrical Power and Energy Systems (EPES) is a complex yet critical infrastructure that is also vulnerable to cyberattacks. Protecting these systems is vital for the smooth operation of sectors like transportation, communication, industry, finance, disaster, response, water and energy. In this context, the EU-funded ELECTRON project will address the need to shield against a variety of threats – from cybersecurity incidents and privacy violations to electricity disturbances and severe human errors caused by a lack of relevant training. Specifically, the project will develop a new-generation EPES platform capable of empowering the resilience of energy systems through risk assessment, anomaly detection/prevention, failure mitigation and energy restoration.
