Project: Advancing Decision-Making in Distribution Grids through Digital Process Twin Integration for Grid Planning and Operations

Acronym GridCloud (Reference Number: 174039)
Duration 01/04/2025 - 31/03/2026
Project Topic The GridCloud project, aimed at European Distribution System Operators, seeks to advance decarbonization through innovative digital solutions. Positioned against Europe's energy transition challenges, GridCloud integrates artificial intelligence and data analytics to optimize grid management. The multi-faceted strategy encompasses: fostering stakeholder collaboration for a seamless green energy transition; developing "Digital Process Twins" for system information digitalization and real-time decision-making; and automating digital twin creation while ensuring IoT compatibility for superior system performance. With country-specific goals in Austria (augmented grid control and stakeholder engagement), Germany (grid data integration and standardization), and Turkey (anomaly detection and operational optimization), GridCloud aspires for a sustainable, efficient, and reliable energy distribution landscape.
Project Results
(after finalisation)
The GridCloud project aims to analyze and propose innovative solutions to the energy sector by leveraging advanced digital technology, specifically Digital Twins, to optimise grid management and control. By focusing on stakeholder engagement, technological development, and testing, this project seeks to empower Distribution System Operators (DSOs) in Austria, Germany, and Turkey to navigate the challenges posed by the energy transition effectively.
