SUCCESS Methodology

Research Concepts:Security by designResilience by DesignSurvivability by designPrivacy by design

Implementation:Novel extended Smart MeterCloud PlatformSecurity Monitoring5G mobile applied

Field Trials:Terni, ItalyIrelandRomania

• Security based on jointly re-configurable power and communicationssystems that ensures security and detects attacks

• This means;

-Resilience through virtualisation of controllers (local and cloud)

-Survivability: Recovery of power grid from failure.

-Compliance of measures with privacy and data protection laws.

SUCCESS Research Concepts

• Special focus on the vulnerabilities introduced by Smart Meters

• Recommendations for countermeasures for short-, medium-, long-term threats

• Monitoring Centres

-on pan-European level

-on DSO level
