COCOON Cooperative Cyber Protection for Modern Power Grids

COCOON’s goal is to deliver a practical cyber-physical systems solution for converged Electrical Power and Energy System (EPES) by bridging secure networked systems research and innovation with power systems engineering. Via an inter-disciplinary approach COCOON will address requirements of the EU ACER NCCS and the SGAM framework. The outcomes will benefit: (i) Energy communities interacting with a DSO. (ii) EU Regional Security Centres (RSC) interacting with multiple TSOs. (iii) DSO substations. (iv) DRES aggregators interacting with a DSO. The project will develop the COCOON Programmable Node (CPN) that will adhere to a programmable data plane (PDP) paradigm and thus accelerate data processing, forwarding and control functionalities. This approach will provide a bottom-up practical solution for supporting a range of computationally intensive cyber protection applications to be used by EPES operators in the aforementioned scenarios through the COCOON Toolset.
