TELEMETRY  –  Trustworthy mEthodologies, open knowLedgE & autoMated toolsforsEcurity Testing of IoTsoftware
(HORIZON-CL3-2022-CS-01-RIA)

The main goal of the TELEMETRY innovation EU project is to develop reliable, universal tools that enable continuous assessment of heterogeneous, interconnected components and systems that make up IoT ecosystems (interconnected IoT devices with hardware, software, services, and communication infrastructure). TELEMETRY’s holistic methodology and toolkit, covering all aspects of their lifecycle, include: testing for component development, testing and monitoring for component integration into systems, and testing and monitoring for system operation. TELEMETRY enables advances in cybersecurity testing and runtime monitoring by using new machine learning models and algorithms for real-time anomaly detection; dynamic risk assessment for modeling the likelihood and severity of threats; reputation management and privacy preservation when exchanging data between independent organizations (e.g. supply chains), an emulation and analysis environment for IoT devices, and lightweight approaches for trusted updates; all of which contribute to a cycle of continuous improvement and ensuring security at the design and runtime stages. TELEMETRY will use 3 use cases representing diverse, complex IoT ecosystems and IoT supply chains in aerospace, smart manufacturing, and telecommunications to guide the development and validation of the proposed tools and methodologies. This will result in significant improvements in threat and vulnerability detection accuracy, response times, and cost of testing and validation of IoT ecosystems. TELEMETRY promotes open source and knowledge sharing, engaging with relevant communities throughout the project to consult, disseminate, and leverage its findings.

GreenDEALGreen and Digital transition in thErmal energy generAtion in cLosed ecological cycle for Europe energy independence
(HORIZON-CL4-2023-TWIN-TRANSITION-01)

The GreenDEAL project is aimed at achieving the goals of the Processes4Planet partnership by designing an industrial test set of a thermal energy generator with a high level of automation (digitizing). The facility solves an extremely important problem for the economy of European countries – the diversification of thermal energy sources based on the use of uncertified biofuel with a one-year recovery cycle and other carbon-containing wastes. During GreenDEAL realization, it will be created new equipment in which natural gas or other fossil hydrocarbons will be completely replaced by carbon-containing materials that are easily available in all European countries. This approach is an example of Europe’s energy independence from the generation of electricity from non-renewable sources. Maximum energy efficiency is achieved due to the use of proven principles of thermochemical destruction. As the final result, it will be developed an innovative generator-utilizer with a capacity of 5-6 MW of thermal energy. Such equipment responds to the category of renewable green energy, because it uses bio-wastes, which during the natural utilization contribute a similar amount of harmful gases as during thermal decomposition. As a fuel we plan to use the straw of various crops, tops and cobs of corn, chaff, sunflower husks, elevator residues, sawdust and other materials. Currently, their industrial usage is minimized. Preliminary calculations show that, the cost of thermal energy generation will be in 15-20 times less compared to traditional hydrocarbon generation. The industrial prototype will be placed in the west of Ukraine. The involvement of European equipment certification centers makes it possible to ensure compliance of all equipment purchased outside the EU to common European standards. This will enable its promotion in Europe and the whole world. The planned payback period for development, depending on the region, is 3-4 months.

BETTER adaptaBle Energy poverTy ciTizens nEtwoRk
(H2020-LC-SC3-2018-2019-2020)

BETTER has been developed by 18 organisations from 12 countries to define an adaptable methodology for definition of energy poverty in different local areas according to the local’s characteristics. These 18 organisations are in different structure (governmental-private), in different business model (utility- institute-municipality-commercial), in different knowledge and experience (completed Energy Poverty project-completed H2020 project-energy poverty region) and in different geographies. By this way, although the project team reflects the energy poverty schemes inside Europe, also represents the transnationality and transdisciplinarity characteristics as well. This project has 7 Work-packs in 30 months period for the purpose of mitigation energy poverty. Although literature defined the primary and secondary indicators of energy poverty, combination of the weights are different for each local. Our project aims to develop a tool which is adaptable to any local to find the energy poverty population as per individual characteristic (different composition of indicators).

ICHARUS DEVELOPMENT OF AN INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR A SMART USE OF ENERGY FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES
(H2020-LC-SC3-2018-2019-2020)

The ICHARUS Project aims to verify the possibility to develop a new, more efficient, and cost-competitive energy generation and conversion kinetic energy storage (KES) technology, developing in laboratory a system – not the whole energy system – as required from the topic of the call. The technology KES’s advantage is that a massive flywheel is capable of instantaneously converting accumulated kinetic energy into electrical energy, thus providing the consumer equipment with the necessary power. The searching for technological solutions to improve the functionality and efficiency of KESs is very high: the aim is to reduce their size and weight, to increase energy intensity, to reduce costs, because the role of energy innovation is crucial in the development of society. To achieve these goals, new cheaper materials for the manufacturing of the flywheel ( basalt fiber composites instead of carbon fibre composites) will be investigated and advanced coating technologies will be applied to reduce the friction between the various moving parts of the device in order to increase the energy yield of the entire equipment, by reducing energy losses. However the distinctive element of the project will be the development up to the level of verification in the laboratory (TRL 4) of a technology called Active Smart Rotor, (ASR) consisting of a series of disks arranged one above the other, able to generate electric energy inside the rotor. The inspiring idea is the structure of Solar system, where the planets revolve around the Sun, and their satellites revolve around the same planets. The operating principle of the ASR is explained in detail in the project. The project will be developed by a Consortium of 7 partners: two Universities, two Research Centre, three Companies. The technologies developed in the course of the project will be able to demonstrate their potential value in the future European energy system. helping the increasing of Renewable resources.

COMETOHELP COMbinated acTiOns mitigating HousEhoLd energy Poverty
(H2020-LC-SC3-2018-2019-2020)

Energy poverty is an issue that is growing in both recognition and prevalence across Europe, as evidenced by the fact that addressing energy poverty has been identified as a key European Union (EU) policy priority. Strong policy mandates for harmonized statistics and estimates of energy poverty have been issued by several institutions of the EU, such as the European Parliament, European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions. What is the most correct definition of energy poverty and what is the best way to measure it? Only by answering to these two questions it is possible to identify suitable action to mitigate energy poverty. Energy poverty is defined as “a situation in which individuals or households are unable to adequately heat or provide other necessary energy services in their homes at affordable costs”.
Main causes are attributable to some causes related to household spending capacity (falling incomes, exponential increase in energy costs), related to the low energy quality of many buildings that dissipate much of the heat produced, or related to the adoption of incorrect and / or unconscious behavior of users towards energy consumption. The COMETOHELP project aims to make a new dedicated household survey for monitoring energy poverty, to identify, to plan and to implement measures and effective actions to actively mitigate the energy poverty of the vulnerable households giving them the possibility to improve their own “energy future”.
