ENERSHARE

The shift from fossil fuels to sustainable and renewable energy sources is a top priority in the EU, and the sharing of energy data can play an important role. In this context, the EU-funded ENERSHARE project will facilitate the sharing of energy data. Since, in the energy sector, data sharing is lagging due to trust and privacy concerns, ENERSHARE will develop a reference architecture for a European Energy Data Space that combines cloud security solutions with integrated digital security and global artificial intelligence and data exchange architectures. It will carry out pilots and use cases. By enhancing interoperability, establishing trust, and increasing the value of data building blocks, ENERSHARE will tailor solutions to the needs of the energy sector.

BeFlexible

BeFlexible (Boosting Engagement to Increase Flexibility) is an EU H2020 project that aims at increasing the energy system flexibility, enhancing cooperation among DSOs and with TSOs and easing participation of all energy-related actors in the flexibility provision value chain. The methodology is based on 4 conceptual blocks, namely, a) the markets and regulatory analysis and the definition of a flexibility framework for new business opportunities, b) the adaptation and test of a set of services for flexibility and cross-sector solutions for the activities related to flexibility provision, c) the design of an architecture and a specific implementation as the Grid Data and Business Network (GDBN) to provide support to the energy-centric and cross-sector activities of the flexibility provision, and d) the development of strategies for end customers engagement in the flexibility provision.

High-Assurance Software

At the High-Assurance Software Laboratory (HASLab), we improve practice through theory, creating and implementing software that goes beyond mere functionality: we ensure it is correct, resilient, and secure against failures and attacks. Our team of researchers, scientists, and engineers has proven expertise in software engineering, developing methods and tools to design and integrate robust software; in distributed systems, exploring distribution and replication to ensure scalability and reliability; and in information security, addressing cybersecurity challenges and improving systems with advanced, secure cryptographic protocols, thus minimising vulnerabilities. With a multidisciplinary approach supported by solid theoretical principles, we develop innovative solutions for critical software, secure cloud infrastructures, and privacy-aware big data management, driving scientific advancement, innovation, and high-level consultancy. In addition, we complement our core expertise with work in human-computer interaction, programming languages, computational mathematics, and quantum computing - because we believe the future of trustworthy software is built on knowledge and innovation.
