SDN-microSENSE consortium has worked to fulfil all the objectives set in the Grant Agreement (GA). In this period, apart from all the managerial activities, use case scenarios definition were finalized. Tthe definition of the Collaborative Risk Assessment Methodology and the implementation of it within S-RAF was performed. New functionalities to the current concept of honeypots through the development of the Honeypot Manager, the IEC61850 Honeypot and the Modbus Honeypot were carried out and improved cybersecurity training process was identified, leading to the development of the Cybersecurity Awareness & Training Model & the corresponding evaluation tool. Other important result has been the development of a self-healing mechanism to cluster the grid and apply intentional islanding as well as an Energy Restoration & Management Processes framework (EMO) in order to maintain the energy balance.
The development and provisioning of the Overlay Privacy Framework (OPF) for the protection of energy consumers’ data privacy was finalized as well as the anonymous repository of incidents (ARIEC). Related to the cybersecurity certification scheme, a number of recommendations were provided based on experience gained in the project, on areas that need attention to enhance the EU certification schemes. A System Development Life Cycle Methodology was presented in order to serve to structure the standards and norms to be applied.
With respect to pilot assessment, a strategy for the six pilot’s assessment in terms of user needs was outlined and a detailed description of the demonstration scenarios, implemented cyberattacks, key KPIs, and user requirements was created. An evaluation questionnaire were developed as part of the pilot planning methodology. A set of isolated sandboxing environments where deployed to simulate the behavior of different components and installations of the Smart Grid. Each scenario emulated a different EPES infrastructure and validated different components of the SDN-microSENSE. The evaluation of the technologies, procedures and algorithms developed and assessed within the whole project took place and a variety of lessons learnt and recommendations from the whole process were gathered
In terms of dissemination activities, social media accounts included the latest news of the project. A flyer was created along with a banner that was used in events and exhibitions. Other important actions were the creation of blog posts that were published on the website, newsletters with the latest the news of the project along with main achievements, participations in several events to present the project outcomes, publications of project results in Journals and Conferences. Furthermore, organization of workshops in conferences and organization of the final open event were carried out.
Information for each exploitable item regarding the owners and TRL levels, market assessment and main innovations was collected and the creation of a business canvas and a SWOT analysis for all exploitable items.
Organization of a series of exploitation workshops to present the exploitable items, get feedback and adjust the Business Canvas and SWOT analysis were performed. For the KERs, creation of a business plan were performed. Finally, the project contributed to the foundation and development of CyberEPES cluster.
