POSEIDON

POSEIDON is devised as an innovative product entailing a unified platform for the management of the instrumented systems and processes of the Integral Water Cycle and the supervision of any cybersecurity event associated with these.
Two realities that intrinsically interlinked: the supervision, control and operation of all assets in the sphere of water alongside the cybersecurity monitoring associated with any flow of information associated with latter.
Poseidon will be able to monitor and collect information representative of the processes and communication networks, and with the implementation of dynamic rules through Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms, which will complement the static rules inherent to any monitoring system, so it will be able to improve its ability to detect possible attacks. The identification of anomalous patterns, and even typical patterns associated with an event, will provide the solution with an essential preventive capacity to ensure the integrity of the parameters that govern the correct functioning of a basic good such as water.

POSEIDON presents a milestone in the integration of cybersecurity into the operational functionalities of a product, by being able to analyse the information flows and scenarios of different operational contexts, thereby analysing not only communications yet moreover the process’s real values. This will allow us to anticipate possible cybersecurity incidents by correlating compromised situations detected through the deviation of physical or chemical parameters in any part of the water distribution network.

CENTAURO

The growing global competition within the automotive components sector, alongside the trend towards the manufacture of increasingly sustainable and eco-efficient vehicles, with shorter life cycles and that include the latest technological advances, forces the European automotive components industry to strongly investigate sustainable and eco-efficient solutions that directly affect the eco-design of its products, with the aim of maximising their recyclability with the minimum environmental effect and consumption of fossil resources.

ATIR 2.0

The ATIR 2.0 project will contribute to the development and streamlining of a new tidal energy platform. New renewable energy initiatives like this are critical if we are to meet the EU’s environmental targets for 2030 and 2050, meaning investments are needed to further optimise these systems until they are commercially viable. If successful, at the end of the project it is expected that ATIR 2.0 may be on track to be a new renewable energy alternative and that it will contribute to the improvement of scientific knowledge in this field. Therefore, it can be said that the ATIR 2.0 project is fully aligned with the EU’s Blue Economy and Green Deal strategies.

The energy of marine currents is the best prepared for the market of the different marine energy technologies due to its maturity and its advantages over other marine energy technologies, for example, its high level of predictability and standout performance. The potential tidal resource available in the waters around the United Kingdom is 29 TWh/year, which is equivalent to around 10% of the global available resource of marine currents. In Spain, the estimated tidal resource is 1,358 TWh/year, which is equivalent to 5 nuclear power plants.

Magallanes Renovables, which is a Spanish limited company engaged in the promotion, construction and running of technological solutions capable of exploiting the energy of marine currents in an efficient, reliable and profitable way. The partners AITODETEC and TECDESOFT have been working together on this development for more than a decade. In the ATIR 2.0 project, TECDESOFT will work on the design of the entire electrical section, the control strategy and the implementation of the Digital Twin that will allow for the entire set, the simulation in the different generation scenarios and the training and training of operators to be validated.
Tidal energy is the future. Clean, green and 100% predictable, knowing how much and when electricity will be produced will be key in a future in which the energy mix will be governed by renewable energies 2.0.
