Elewit celebrates five years of driving the energy transition and advocating for universal and inclusive connectivity. As a catalyst for innovation and Redeia's technology platform, Elewit's professionals work daily not only on developing new technological solutions to meet the challenges of the electricity and telecommunications sectors, but also on technology monitoring, leading innovation, and guiding the c
Red Eléctrica has developed a project with the cybersecurity startup Radiflow leveraging the technology offered by its industrial threat detection and management platform iSID. This anomaly detection and OT (Operational Technology) visibility suite allows improving the security of industrial networks through a complete visualization of the network, threat detection and management of communication policies between devices.
Elewit decided to invest through its corporate venture capital (CVC) in HESStec because of its innovative character addressing the main challenges of the new energy model, focused on decarbonization, renewable energies, energy efficiency, storage, sustainable mobility and circular economy.
Redeia, as global manager of essential infrastructures, is constantly striving to advance towards sustainability objectives that contribute to a more sustainable future, as part of its Sustainability Plan 23-25.
Elewit has completed the development of the GridCal and Newton improvement project for electrical planning, known as the Siroco project, in collaboration with the electrical planning and system operation model teams of Red Eléctrica. This project represents a significant step forward in the simulation capabilities of electrical grids, as new advanced functionalities have been developed to meet current needs and foresee future requirements in the electrical sector.
One of the electrical hazards that must be taken into consideration to ensure safe working conditions for Redeia's technical equipment is arcing. These are usually generated by a short circuit and can happen anywhere electrical equipment is connected. An electric arc is, in short, a continuous electric discharge of high current flowing through an air gap between conductors. To prevent such discharges, electrical insulators are used: materials capable of preventing or slowing the flow of electric current.
