Among the presented contributions, our colleague Domagoj Peharda presented the paper “A Standardized Data Environment for Decision-Making in Complex Power Grids”, highlighting some of the results developed within the Horizon Europe HEDGE-IoT project.
The paper addresses one of the key challenges of increasingly complex power systems: how to bring together heterogeneous data from different information systems and create a consistent, standardized environment for analysis, planning, and operational decision-making. The proposed approach builds on the Common Information Model (CIM) and introduces multi-branch and bitemporal versioning to enable the reconstruction of historical and planned grid states while maintaining data traceability.

Our colleague Tomislav Stupić, together with Ana Kekelj from the Croatian Transmission System Operator (HOPS), presented the paper “Designing SCADA Architectures for Scalability, Cybersecurity and Digital Resilience”. Their work further demonstrates the strong collaboration between Croatia’s technology leader in the energy sector and the country’s transmission system operator in developing modern and essential solutions for the digital transformation of the power grid.

It was a great opportunity to share our experience and the results of our work with the international power systems community, while contributing to the ongoing discussion on digitalization, interoperability, and data-driven decision-making in future grids.
