Smart Grids
Internationally recognised expertise in Smart Grids
The development of smart grids allows:
- An increasingly accurate and responsive data analysis thanks to the 36.5 million smart meters deployed in France, and numerous connected IoT sensors installed on network infrastructures.
- Accelerated energy transition for citizens.
- Facilitation the integration of renewable energies into the grid.
- New e-mobility and self-consumption services.
- Optimisation of cybersecurity, with the integration of European standards and directives.
Objectives
Understand the benefits of smart grids. Explore new solutions for networks and provide tools to assess progress over time.
Optimise network operation and investment.
Prepare for the energy transition by modernising the network, taking advantage of the best available technologies and new data.
Our approach
Providing consultancy and technical assistance, project management and knowledge transfer.
Support our clients in building smarter networks that offer the best service to their customers. We propose valuable services to the DSO through these scopes:
- Smart Grid assessment: audit of the current state, with an initial cost/benefit study, and comparison with best practices and similar contexts.
- Roadmap development: definition of a roadmap and support for its implementation.
- Proposal and production of POCs (Proof of Concept): preparation for large-scale deployment.
- Solution specifications: assessment of customer requirements, data collection, feasibility studies, drafting of an industrial policy, functional specification.
- Deployment: qualifying industrial equipment, testing the deployment strategy, implementing the most appropriate solutions in the field.
Benefits of Smart Grid solutions for Distribution System Operators…
Better management of network performance, both in real and delayed time, thanks to improved observability and greater network control capability:
- Improved quality of power supply (SAIDI, SAIFI, voltage stability) ;
- Improved reliability of network description…
- … Which makes it possible to integrate renewable energies and electric mobility.
Thanks to Big Data and artificial intelligence solutions, business processes can be improved, moving from corrective maintenance to predictive maintenance, for example.
