Projet SAILING (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2024)
Action : Doctoral Networks
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The Internet-of-Energy (IoE) is a revolutionary paradigm towards achieving the EU’s zero-carbon goal through enabling intelligent and automated energy management across the entire lifecycle of energy planning, storage, distribution, and maintenance. Operating in highly complex environments characterised by intermittent and volatile renewable energy generation, dynamic energy demands, large-scale distributed energy integration, and stringent resilience and security requirements, IoE faces fundamental challenges in constructing accurate and real-time digital representation, securing Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions, optimising energy management, and diagnosing device faults and failures.  To address these challenges, SAILING aims to establish a multidisciplinary network of world-leading academic and industrial partners to create a ground-breaking smart system for energy management and fault diagnosis powered by innovative digital twin and secure AI technologies. Specifically, SAILING will pioneer transformative research and innovations, including: 1) AI-driven high-fidelity digital twin for IoE digital representation, 2) Secure and reliable AI for IoE empowered by Blockchain and adversarial machine learning, 3) Intelligent and scalable predictive energy management and optimisation, and 4) Deep learning-based rapid fault detection and accurate failure prediction.  SAILING will train 12 Early-Stage Researchers across sectors and disciplines in the novel concepts and methodologies of smart IoE, equip them with sought-after professional and transferable skills, foster broader perspectives, and cultivate them to become future leaders in IoE. Through cutting-edge research and multidisciplinary cross-sectoral collaborations, SAILING will drive scientific breakthroughs with innovative digital twin and secure AI technologies for realising reliable, resilient, and energy-efficient smart IoE, and revolutionising the energy sector for a more sustainable and cleaner future.
