EMILI

EMILI proyecto

The EMILI project (“Emergency Management in Large Infrastructures”) is a European project aimed at creating a new generation of control systems for large critical infrastructure (ICs) such as power grids, telecommunications systems, airports, subways, trains and pipelines. These ICs are currently experiencing substantial technical, economic, organizational, political and legal changes. Its importance in society is growing in all aspects, and the set of dependencies between them is growing more and more.

Under these conditions, we need a new form of control to provide security in ICs, especially in emergencies and crises. The EMILI approach is based on a new generation of technologies such as complex event processing (CEP), the active Web and the Semantic Web.
EMILI unites leading research groups in data management and operational management, complex event processing, reactivity, knowledge representation and SCADA systems with industrial partners that provide use cases and “know-how” for SCADA systems in airports, public transport, and electrical networks.

The other project partners are:

  • Fraunhofer Institut (Germany) (Project leader)
  • Skytec AG (Germany)
  • Asit AG (Switzerland)
  • CWI (Centrum voor Wiskunde en informatica) (Netherlands)
  • Ludwig-Maximilians Universität München (Germany)
  • Institut Mihajlo Pupin (Serbia)

 

Grupo AIA’s role in the project is the development of intelligent interpretation systems for real-time SCADA alarms and events in the grid.

The project ran from 2010 to 2012.

SISCLAP

SISCLAP Proyecto Salud

 

The SISCLAP project’s objective is to obtain an SCP, which achieves capitation payment models, adjusted for the risk level of the beneficiaries of a health service. Thus it is intended to improve the efficiency of resources, reducing use and consumption and the differences between budgets and expenditure. As an added value seeks to improve the access of users of increased risk to the most efficient and necessary.

The SISCLAP project is basically based on the application of algorithms and predictive models (using artificial intelligence) for segmenting all patients operated on supercomputing infrastructure with a focus on improving the efficiency of the Spanish health system. This improvement will be through three related levels, which ordered from micro to macro: Professional Management, Strategic Management and Organization and Financing of health centres, and budget allocation of healthcare providers.

 

The “Ministerio de Industria, Energía y Turismo” of Spain, within the “Plan Nacional de Investigación Científica, Desarrollo e Innovación Tecnológica 2008-2011”, has funded the project SISCLAP.

 

SISCLAP consortium has been formed by:

  • FlowLab

Antonio Trías, co-founder of Grupo AIA, has been granted the U.S patent AGORA

Antoni Trías Bonet, the co-founder of Grupo AIA, has been granted the U.S. patent AGORA. AGORA is a new-generation Grid Management System (GMS) with intelligent observation features, built on a non-iterative breakthrough patented innovation load flow algorithm, HELM, that always provides the correct solution (if an operational physical solution exists), even near voltage collapse. The result is a robust set of tools to keep the network state even under the most difficult operational conditions.

Antoni Trías explains in an interview how the new HELM system provides all power flow calculations and accurate real-time PV and QV curve generation, performs reliable contingency analysis and support simulation in real-time.
