Hosted by Delft University of Technology, this general assembly meeting provided the consortium an opportunity to visit the „Control room of the future”, which is at the core of the Dutch-French demo of TwinEU, concentrating on how digital twins can enhance cyber security of the system.
The ESTELAR project recently marked its first year of activities with a consortium meeting where partners reviewed progress and aligned the next steps towards the Digital Substation of the Future. Discussions focused on key technical developments and preparations for upcoming pilot activities.
The ESTELAR project recently marked its first year of activities with a consortium meeting that brought partners together to review progress and align on the next steps towards developing the Digital Substation of the Future. The meeting provided an opportunity to assess ongoing technical work, discuss pilot preparations, and coordinate upcoming project deliverables.
Technical Deep Dives and Pilot Preparations
The two-day assembly, held at 3SI’s headquarters, focused on aligning technical workflows and reviewing progress across the project’s core pillars:
The meeting concluded with a clear roadmap for the next phase of the project, as partners prepare to move from design and setup towards the testing of the virtualized components of the Digital Substation of the Future.
The productive sessions were complemented by a consortium dinner in the historic Psiri district of Athens, offering partners the opportunity to continue discussions in a more informal setting and celebrate the progress achieved during the project’s first year.
The project runs from 2025 to 2027 and aims to modernise traditional electrical substations by integrating advanced virtualisation and digitalisation technologies, supporting Europe’s transition towards a climate-neutral economy.
The ESTELAR project (Effective Substation TEchnologies for Advanced viRtualization) is a €2.5 million initiative funded by the European Union. Running from 2025 to 2027, the project aims to modernize traditional electrical substations through advanced virtualization and digitalization technologies, contributing to Europe’s transition towards a climate-neutral economy.
ESTELAR focuses on three main technological pillars:
SMART SUSTAINABLE SOCIAL INNOVATIONS SINGLE MEMBER P.C. is the leader of the activities related to the cybersecurity of the digital substation of the future and the definition of the monitoring and evaluation strategy for ESTELAR.

We’re excited to share the latest developments in sustainable energy with the release of the USES4HEAT promotional video! This captivating video shows how Italy and Norway are pioneering the future of heating through advanced underground energy storage technology.
THUNDER solutions stretch across the value chain (data centre innovative storage providers, heat pump manufacturers and district energy company operators).
The THUNDER solutions will be validated in field conditions at the Demosite in Bulgaria where the practice of waste heat recovery from data centres is not widely diffused thus boosting the market also in those areas. Deepened replicability assessment will be done and pre-feasibility analysis developed in 10 further Demosites across all over Europe.

3SI was at Genoa, Italy participating at the kick off meeting of THUNDER project, that took place in 3th and 31st of January 2024 and was hosted by RINA-C.
The THUNDER project aims to overcome existing barriers hampering a wide adoption of DCs waste heat recovery strategies, providing an innovative, efficient and cost attractive Seasonal Thermal storage based on Thermochemical Materials. THUNDER solutions stretch across the value chain (data centre innovative storage providers, heat pump manufacturers and district energy company operators). The THUNDER solutions will be validated in field conditions at the Demosite in Bulgaria where the practice of Waste Heat Recovery from Data Centers is not widely diffused thus boosting the market also in those areas.
