R2D2

R2D2 aims at improving the resilience and reliability of current Electrical Power and Energy Systems (EPES) against a growing number of threats and vulnerabilities that may affect critical infrastructure, exposing weaknesses with harmful and damaging effects on different stakeholders and final customers. The climate emergency and severe weather, but also, a wide range of new risks related to cybersecurity and cyber threats can pose a threat to critical infrastructure.

This will be 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 is built 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 synthesised into four Products: “C3PO-Multi-risk assessment framework for power system”, “IRIS-Resilience suite for TSO & DSO”, “PRECOG-Prevention Systems for Energy Infrastructures Security” and “EMMA-Enhanced Assets Maintenance And Management Toolkit”.
