CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity solutions for critical energy infrastructure are imperative for reliable energy delivery. In today’s highly connected world, with an increasingly sophisticated cyber-threat, it is unrealistic to assume energy generation, transmission and distribution systems are isolated or immune from compromise.

In IEIT, Cybersecurity for the modernized grid is bringing together three communities that until recently have spoken different languages. Information technology (IT) speaks the language of computers and networks that support utility business administrative processes. Operational technology (OT) speaks the language of electronic devices with embedded operating systems streamlined to support energy delivery functions, and operational networks. Power Systems technology (PST) leveraging the knowledge of electricity generation transmission and distribution in the context of liberalized market transactions. In IEIT, PST, IT and OT expertise is provided independently or converge their efforts to develop tailor-made cybersecurity protections for OT systems and security of supply.

IEIT’s cybersecurity team is providing utility companies across Europe with site assessments to evaluate existing security controls, identify gaps, and offer prioritized action items to improve organizational protocols. The team is also helping energy-sector companies that specialize in wind, solar, smart buildings, electric vehicles, energy storage, and other distributed energy resources (DERs) to improve system- and device-level cybersecurity through product evaluation, DER security standards expertise, and technology Research & Development.

BIG DATA ANALYTICS

Big Data Analytics enables the rapid extraction, transformation, loading, search, analysis and sharing of massive data sets. By analyzing a large, integrated, real-time database rather than smaller, independent, batch-processed data sets, Big Data Analytics seeks to quickly identify previously unseen correlations and patterns to improve decision making. Although it is related to traditional Database Management and Business Intelligence systems, Big Data Analytics dramatically increases the ability to process data in four major ways:

  • Volume: moves beyond terabytes to petabytes and exabytes
  • Velocity: enables real-time insights and actions
  • Variety: analyzes everything from click-stream data to video streams
  • Variability: manages changes in data formats and information fields

The results help managers better measure and manage the most critical functions of their business.

ΙΕΙΤ provides a full range of services in Big Data Analytics. Starting by identifying significant business opportunities that may be enhanced by superior data, IEIT develops a complete business implementation plan for Big Data Solutions, identifying cost-effective information sources, finding true patterns of causality and translating analytic insights into actionable business information, establishing guiding principles such as data privacy and security policies, Testing/learning,/sharing/refining data models and structures to provide tangible results and added value.

POWER SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION

IEIT’s experienced team of engineers and scientists provide evaluations of electrical transmission and distribution systems, including analyses of power flow, voltage drop, short circuit, arc flash, electrical coordination, power quality, system adequacy and load/RES forecasting. Evaluations of primary transmission and distribution systems typically include assessments of future system needs and a geographical information system (GIS) mapping and modelling of the electrical system.

IEIT’s approach to these rigorous studies is simple: focus on the most critical questions, identify or develop the best data and tools to apply, perform precise analysis, and finally, develop technically supported and inventive insights that are concise and actionable.

We help energy stakeholders to keep pace in today’s dynamic environment by offering a wide range of services in the areas of power transmission and distribution to participate in energy markets with the respective financial analysis. IEIT’s clients in this area include TSOs, DSOs, utilities, asset owners and developers, non-governmental organizations, and large consumers of electricity. These clients seek out our services to help them develop strategies, and identify, plan, and execute investments while considering and quantifying relevant risks and opportunities. 

We maintain a suite of analytic tools that are used for these power system studies, some of which include:

  • Production cost modeling and Power flow modeling tools
  • Energy storage CBA tools for studying project revenues from dynamic energy and ancillary service markets;
  • System adequacy assessment and load forecasting for short, medium and long-term horizon
  • Project economic models for performing custom cash flow analysis for generation, power, and transmission project analysis
