Projects implemented with the support of the European Union

BITSTREAM S.A. is carrying out the project ‘Establishment of a laboratory for the development of new technologies contributing to the digital transformation of electrical substations’

Project Goal: Purchasing research and development infrastructure enabling the provision of R&D services for external entities, as well as R&D services for internal needs in the field of GNSS signal reliability detection systems. The laboratory will enable R&D work to increase the resilience and security of critical energy infrastructure systems, which, in the context of digital transformation, will widely use this signal as a time source for power devices.

Planned Results: A professional laboratory equipped with the necessary research equipment will be established to enable advanced research on GNSS signal reliability detection systems. This laboratory will enable the enhancement of the resilience and security of critical energy infrastructure, which, as part of the digital transformation, is increasingly using GNSS signals as a time source for power devices.

Scope and Activities

The project will include the purchase and deployment of specialized R&D infrastructure that will enable:

monitoring GNSS signals for availability, quality, and integrity
detecting threats such as spoofing and jamming
analyzing the vulnerability of power systems to GNSS interference
building models of power infrastructure for resilience testing
collecting and analyzing data from the radio layer and infrastructure devices
developing machine learning-based algorithms for anomaly detection and building defense mechanisms

The laboratory will enable the implementation of both internal research and development projects and the provision of R&D services to external entities.

Target Groups

Enterprises from the energy and telecommunications sectors
Critical infrastructure operators

Project Results

The project will contribute to:

Increasing the security and reliability of power systems
Developing innovative technologies for time synchronization and GNSS
Developing methods for detecting and counteracting GNSS signal interference
Supporting the digital transformation of energy infrastructure
Expanding Bitstream S.A.'s R&D services
Strengthening the company's position as a center of competence in time synchronization and GNSS security
