Context:
In the context of mounting geopolitical tensions and events, such as the failure of the Tesla plant in Brandenburg, the issues of security of supply and threats to critical infrastructure have become increasingly evident and have become increasingly important.
An operator of critical infrastructure required a technical analysis, digital replication, simulation, and evaluation of the power and cooling supply. A series of measures were developed with the objective of strengthening resilience and n-1 security. In addition, strategic implementation goals were set.
What we delivered:
-
Analysis of publicly available information and assessment of the hazard potential of the energy supply.
-
Inspections of the sites with the responsible technical teams and recording of the conditions.
-
Creation of network plans and digital twins of the sites to simulate incidents and N-1 tests.
-
Identification of system weaknesses and development of remedial measures.
-
Development of measures regarding organizational weaknesses observed during the project.
Client benefit:
-
Transparent presentation of publicly available information and potential areas of attack.
-
Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the locations and weak points in the electricity and cooling supply.
-
Concrete measures to eliminate technical and organizational weaknesses.
