Enrich Aggregators’ portfolios by giving access to clusters of small and medium customers
The DELTA Concept
Topics of collaboration • SU-DS04-2018-2020
• Cybersecurity in the Electrical Power and Energy System, IA, Deadline: 23 August 2018
• Title: microgrid resilient electrical energy system • Main Challenges:
• Collaborative Situational Awareness platform • Event Management System with secure share among stakeholders
• Expertise needed • DSO & TSO from Eastern Countries (i.e. Estonia, Slovakia, Poland) • Industrial partners
• ES-1,ES-3 2018-2019 • Bring and extend DELTA concept in other layers of the Smart Grid
(not only at the aggregators level).
