The EU-funded project “HYNET” aims to tackle the challenges of integrating renewable energy sources and power electronics into traditional AC systems by developing innovative technologies. It aims to establish a robust framework for the future of Europe’s energy systems, supporting the European Green Deal and a sustainable, reliable energy transition. Nowadays, the interest in direct

The CABLEGNOSIS project aims to deliver innovative cable technologies that will support the clean energy transition era for the 2050 targets set at European level. The EU’s clean energy transition goals, as outlined in the ‘Fit for 55’ package, require at least a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels by 2030. Achieving

Modern power systems are prone to large disturbances due to their operation close to their physical limits and the high penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) that decrease the inertia of the power system. The GridGnosis project is built on the effective collaboration between academia and industry, aiming to develop a holistic solution for enhancing

The GridEye project aims to deliver a holistic solution for effective line protection, fulfilling the needs of the Transmission System Operators (TSOs) for managing the operation of the grid in an optimal and efficient way, while ensuring the grid integrity and stability. The parameters of the transmission lines are generally considered to be time-invariant over

The GuardAI project seeks to enhance the security of edge AI systems, addressing their critical vulnerabilities. Emphasis is placed on high-stakes domains, as outlined in the EU’s AI Act, where these systems, including drones, connected and autonomous vehicles, and network edge infrastructure, are becoming widespread and will play a pivotal role in making crucial decisions.

The OptimRES project aims to develop a groundbreaking platform to support the operation and decision-making of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) plants, to enhance the viability of green investments, to support the green transition, and to reduce environmental impact. The penetration of RES into the power system is expected to

The FINEX project (Stimulating and Connecting the FINEST Experimentation Practices and Spaces) aims to support the quick deployment and uptake of Cleantech solutions and the development of supporting regulatory frameworks through building on world class experimentation practices, networks and experience of its partners.
