The project also focuses on strengthening network operators’ capabilities for monitoring, maintaining, and planning infrastructure while improving coordination between transmission and distribution system operators. By leveraging real data, Synergies will provide personalized energy services, reduce intrusiveness, and enhance the functioning and flexibility valorization of Local Energy Communities (LECs). Ultimately, it aims to establish a secure, fair, and trust-driven energy data economy, fostering new business models and increasing the viability of energy data sharing initiatives.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Innovation. Actions – Sustainable, secure and competitive energy supply CL-5-2021-D3-01 under Grant Agreement: 101069839.

These insights inform tailored learning pathways, supporting the development of accessible capacity-building materials, including online courses, information booklets, and interactive games. Every1 collaborates closely with energy communities, local authorities, and cluster organisations, which form our Ecosystems Network, to strengthen their role in the energy transition and digitalisation. Through tailored training, networking, and capacity-building activities, the Ecosystems Network helps coordinators, staff, and citizens across Europe adapt to digitalisation and connect with key stakeholders. 

Additionally, Every1 fosters collaboration by sharing best practices with policymakers and energy regulators through our Market Enablers Network, as well as with other European initiatives to address barriers and co-create communication resources that enhance knowledge sharing across the sector.

ΙCCS, as the technical manager of the project, plays a critical role in its technical assessment and the definition of its use-cases. ICCS is also responsible for the development of tools that provide grid monitoring and control capabilities. The relevant solutions include state-estimation tools for system operators, as well as real-time thermal rating tools that utilize dynamic line rating algorithms. Advanced asset management modules will also be developed, including long-term solutions which target the end-of-life prediction of equipment, as well as short term asset management solutions focusing on fault detection of critical power system equipment. Moreover, ICCS will develop a network planning tool that offers insights on optimal distribution system upgrades with user defined objectives like cost reduction, maximum RES integration and investment deferral through flexibility mechanisms.

To unlock the full potential of R&I actors, the SynGRID project will employ a multi-faceted capacity-building strategy supported by a comprehensive analysis, encompassing a review of validated research outcomes from Horizon projects and an assessment of the current technology landscape in Croatia, Greece, and Slovenia to identify areas requiring intervention. SynGRID will engage key stakeholders including DSOs, regional authorities, SMEs in the energy sector, and research institutions.

The SynGRID project received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under the grant agreement Nº 101160145.

The project is funded by UKRI (EP/Y001575/1) and partners University of Southampton, Institute of Communication and Computer Systems NTUA (ICCS-NTUA), National Energy System Operator and Smart Power Networks.

R2D2 (Reliability, Resilience, and Defense Technology for the Grid) is an EU-funded Horizon project launched in October 2022 and scheduled to conclude in September 2025 (36 months duration). The consortium comprises 16 beneficiaries across Europe, including ICCS.

R2D2 strategic goal is to improve the resilience and reliability of current EPES (Electrical Power and Energy Systems) against a growing number of threats and vulnerabilities that may affect such critical infrastructure, exposing weaknesses with harmful and damaging effects on different stakeholders and final customers. This is done through the deployment of four tools dedicated to the prevention, protection and restoration of EPES in two different independent but complementary scenarios in the energy value-chain – from regional coordination between TSOs, to privacy of LV customers. The project builds on top of strong energy coordination actions in South-East Europe (SEE), following EU legislation and in alignment with the recent activities promoted by ENTSO-E about cyber-security in transmission systems.

Through the demonstration and integration of the innovative solutions proposed by R2D2, it will be possible to achieve a more secure, reliable and resilient energy system in Europe, making a positive and tangible impact throughout the European EPES value chain. In this context, R2D2 will deliver a palette of complementary solutions synthesized into four Products: “Multi-risk assessment framework for power system” (P1 – C3PO), “Resilience suite for TSO & DSO” (P2 – IRIS), “Prevention Systems for Energy Infrastructures Security” (P3 – PRECOG) and “Enhanced Assets Maintenance and Management Toolkit” (P4 – EMMA). Each one of them consists of a series of closely coupled tools that, according to their own characteristics, contribute in different ways to improving the resilience and reliability of electrical systems, and the safety of their operation.

R²D² is co-funded by the EU under the LCE Policy Support Programme (HORIZON-CL5-2021) as part of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (grant agreement No 101075714).
