Energy

Timely, reliable and secure communications for the energy sector. Self-healing solutions for system operators with significantly reduced outage duration, number of customers affected customers and fewer switching manoeuvres required during network reconfiguration.

Automation in distribution with self-healing solutions is a critical challenge to consider in the transformational evolution towards Smart/Smarter Grid. Self-healing will enable system operators to benefit from a significant reduction in the outage duration, the number of affected customers as well as in the number of switching manoeuvres required during network reconfiguration procedure involved in Fault Detection Isolation and service Restoration (FDIR). Timely, reliable and secure communications are crucial in this vertical application.

Enabling Smart Energy as a Service with research to verify the stability, resilience and ultra-fast response (below 5ms) of the energy grid with high share of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and Distributed Energy Storage.

The automation in distribution with self-healing solutions is a critical challenge to consider in the transformational evolution towards Smart/Smarter Grid.

Targeting the emerging neighbourhood market of energy and energy services. Maximizing microgrid self-consumption and reducing energy exchange at the higher-level grid.
