The project\u2019s primary objective is to respond in a holistic way to the energy efficiency, continuity, and security needs of power distribution networks within Cyprus, regarding timely fault prevention and intrusion detection.<\/p>\n
The extensive goals are to:<\/p>\n
Exploit the optical sensing capabilities of the existing optical fiber, on-grid network, to enable the remote and automated, continuous, and timely monitoring of the grid infrastructure integrity of the principal energy supplier within Cyprus;
\nExtract critical information, such as the locations of transmission inefficiencies, such as hot-spots, and provide predictive information regarding the emergence and location of possible faults, in order to ensure reliability and continuity of supply;
\nAddress the lack of informed policy with regard to issues of security and reliability in the context of actively monitoring future smart grids at the operations level, in real-time;
\nMonitor unmanned or unsupervised critical infrastructure to prevent unauthorised interference and access.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":722,"template":"","project_funding_agency":[52,53,54,55],"project_partner":[],"project_type":[],"research_area":[67,46,74],"class_list":["post-2322","research_project","type-research_project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_funding_agency-republic-of-cyprus","project_funding_agency-research-and-innovation-foundation","project_funding_agency-research-promotion-foundation","project_funding_agency-restart","research_area-iot","research_area-ml","research_area-ml-app"],"yoast_head":"\n
