The KIOS Center of Excellence is participating as a key partner in the European research project CABLEGNOSIS, which aims to develop innovative technologies for electricity transmission cables, supporting the green energy transition and the achievement of the EU’s 2050 energy goals.
According to a press release from the University of Cyprus, the CABLEGNOSIS project is funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme and is being implemented with the participation of 17 partners from European countries and the United Kingdom.
The CABLEGNOSIS project will develop innovative technologies for the design of cable insulation and conductors, utilizing high-performance, environmentally friendly insulating materials. The project will also focus on developing methodologies for fault prediction, aging monitoring, and remote cable monitoring.
Within the framework of the project, the press release said, the KIOS Center of Excellence, in collaboration with the Electricity Authority of Cyprus, will develop innovative methodologies for monitoring the temperature of underground high-voltage cables, as well as methodologies for detecting the exact location of faults occurring in the cables.
The methodologies to be developed will use voltage and current measurements provided in real time by Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). During the implementation of the project, these methodologies will be tested on the digital twin of Cyprus’ transmission system, as well as under real operating conditions with actual measurements from the Cypriot system.
The research team from the KIOS Center of Excellence at the University of Cyprus participating in the CABLEGNOSIS project consists of Professor Christos Panayiotou and Research Lecturers Dr. Markos Asprou and Dr. Lenos Hadjidemetriou.
