About Electron Project

ELECTRON is EU H2020 SU-DS04-2018-2020 funded research project that aims at delivering a new-generation EPES platform, capable of empowering the resilience of energy systems against cyber, privacy, and data attacks.

(ELECTRON) rEsilient and seLf-healed EleCTRical pOwer Nanogrid aims at delivering a new-generation EPES platform, capable of empowering the resilience of energy systems against cyber, privacy, and data attacks through four main pillars (risk assessment and certification, anomaly detection and prevention, failure mitigation and energy restoration, and addressing internal threats and gaps through AR-VR-based personnel training and certification), while fostering the cyber protection standardization and certification via three novel authorities, namely the cybersecurity lighthouse, the cybersecurity training and certification authority, and the energy trading centre.

\

Design and implement

a nanogrid-based prevention and mitigation scheme for protecting the grid against cyberattacks and cascading effects.

\

Addressing the cyber threats,

gaps, and failures coming from inside the EPES by setting up an efficient EPES cybersecurity training process based on advanced AR/VR methods.

\

Meeting the EU cybersecurity policy

and certification requirements for EPES, by designing and inaugurating the ELECTRON Cybersecurity Lighthouse.

The main objectives of this project are

 

\

Deliver the enterprise-level

ELECTRON components for ensuring increased resilience of EPES, while assuring the continuity of the critical business and operations of the energy community.

\

Provide a modern collaborative

risk and certificate framework by involving different energy stakeholders in line with the Cybersecurity Act.

\

Provide a next generation EPES cyber-defence & protection framework,

by involving a decentralised and federated learning.

Validating and demonstrating

the integrated ELECTRON products and solutions through large-scale, focused, and high-impact use cases
