At UBITECH we support young graduates in their first professional steps. On October 14, 2021, we participated in the Live Assessment Center for “𝐑𝐞𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 & 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭” as assessors , and we had the opportunity to get to know the ReGenerator’s Candidates in order to highlight the finalists of the Academy. Through our collaboration with ReGeneration, we have contributed to the empowerment of the country’s new talents and their integration into the labor market.

UBITECH and UBITECH Energy participate at the virtual kick-off meeting hosted by INTRASOFT INTERNATIONAL (October 14-15, 2021) of the ELECTRON Innovation Action, officially started on October 1st, 2021. The project is funded by European Commission under Horizon 2020 Programme (Grant Agreement No. 101021936) and spans on the period October 2021 – September 2024. The ELECTRON project aims to deliver a new-generation EPES platform, capable of empowering the resilience of energy systems against cyber, privacy, and data attacks through four main pillars, i.e. risk assessment and certification, anomaly detection and prevention, failure mitigation and energy restoration, and addressing internal threats and gaps through AR-VR-based personnel training and certification, while fostering the cyber protection standardization and certification via three novel authorities, namely the cybersecurity lighthouse, the cybersecurity training and certification authority, and the energy trading center.

The paper entitled “Root-of-Trust Abstractions for Symbolic Analysis: Application to Attestation Protocols” has been accepted for presentation at the 17th International Workshop on Security and Trust Management, co-located with the 26th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS) 2021, held virtually from October 4 – 8, 2021. Dr Thanassis Giannetsos, Head of UBITECH’s Digital Security and Trusted Computing Research Group, and his co-authors propose a methodology for proving security in scenarios based on services that make use of Roots-of-Trust (RoTs), by idealizing the internal functionalities of the security device, except those that provide explicit cryptographic functionalities for the service being offered.

The European Commission’s legislative package (Fit for 55 package) aims to ensure that EU policies are in line with the climate goals agreed by the Council and the European Parliament by revising and updating EU legislation and by putting in place new initiatives. This set of proposals includes an Amendment of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), which showcases the importance that energy efficiency will play in the energy transition. In this context, the concept of sector coupling (SC) has been emerged, representing an approach to replace fossil fuels with energy from renewable electricity sources. One of the most prominent coupling of sectors is the integration of the power and heat sectors, i.e., either by direct electrification from renewable energy sources or power transformation in order to be used for residential/district level heating (power-to-heat, also known as P2H). Towards this quest, the Working Group 4 (WG4) Future of Energy Systems of the Research, Development and Innovation Committee (RDIC) of ENTSO-E awarded UBITECH ENERGY a contract to perform a study with TSO perspective on Integration of the Power and Heat Sectors. The goal is to conduct a comprehensive study, focused on the potential benefits, e.g., unlocking flexibility potential through sector coupling, increased VRES integration, reduced VRES curtailment, and challenges, such as grid impact assessment, energy adequacy and grid adequacy, that TSOs will have to address in the coming years.

In close collaboration with researchers from the University of Western Macedonia (Greece), UBITECH co-authors a journal publication entitled “SDN-Based Resilient Smart Grid: The SDN-microSENSE Architecture” that has been just accepted for publication from MDPI Digital, an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on digital technologies and digital application, particulary with how such technoligues affect our health, education and economy.
