Description: • Dynamic control of the MV grid (reactive power management)• Development of Information Systems capable of handling the additional information (e.g.

Smart Electric Lyon is an EDF initiative on the Grand Lyon area, and is one of the most important experimentation program on the evolution of uses of electric power. It tests innovations with almost 25 000 consumers – households, companies, local authorities – enabling them to know and understand their power consumption and to reduce it.

The project is to be commissioned by 2015 two demonstration stations (225 and 90 kV) consisting of HV equipment and new generation BT for:• Better view, that is to say, rely on new technologies of information and communication for a more detailed knowledge of the state of the network and its environment in real time.• Better act to better fit, that is to say use digital technologies for providing consistent operating and maintenance systems with the new constraints imposedby the insertion of renewable energy, demand management

Mietec The project aims to test with 750 homes and 50 commercial users an intelligent management system of electric network service territory. it relies on the development and testing of two technical tools behalf of the authority, Common and consumers: a) A centralized computer system managing the balance scale land, coupled with storage solutions and management of Economic power consumption based on technical, or environmental. b) A MDE animation tool based on different modes of communication (SMS, mails, community newsletters ...) so as to involve the maximumusers.

SOGRID project is in this context of changing distribution and proposes to test in real conditions a communication architecture PLC G3 from the meter to the source post. several innovations technology (system-on-chip, hubs, couplers, integrated sensors,electronic meters) will be designed, developed, deployed and experienced in the project.

Alongside the company Artelys, an SME specialising in optimisation, we have just received funding from the ADEME, which will enable us to work for four years on simulation and optimisation in the field of electricity generation and transmission. Recent technological innovation in the field of high-voltage direct current transmission opens up the possibility, which has previously been extremely limited, of constructing large direct current networks in forthcoming decades.

In 2011, ERDF submitted the demonstrator as part of an ADEME program called “smart grid electric network” (AMI). Early 2012, the French Commissioner General for Investment (CGI) approved the project. The demonstrator is focused on the integration of large wind energy in distribution networks. More precisely the project will study observability and controllability of wind-farms, voltage regulation and centralized local protection plan and power quality.

TWENTIES Project aims to demonstrate through real-life. large-scale demonstrations. the benefits and impact of several critical types of technology required to improve the European transmission network. thus giving Europe the ability to increase the share of renewables in its energy mix by 2020 and beyond. while keeping its present reliability

The Sol-ion kit has been developed to accommodate PV energy production of 5 kWp (peak) with a battery rated from 5 to 15 kWh and a nominal voltage of 170 V to 350 V. Li-ion is the only technology that meets the project’s need for 20-year battery life in demanding environmental conditions. The energy conversion and system management systems are designed to handle four system functions: multidirectional energy flows; self-consumption; grid support; back-up.

Smart ZAE project aims to show that by means of renewable energy production, storage, low environmental impact and Management System (BMS), an area of economic activity (AEZ) may constitute a 'building block 'a smart electricity grid. The project will reduce consumption called on the distribution network to support the network in case of need, and increase the production of renewable electricity in creating value. The project will be deployed in the region of Toulouse, on a site that already has 125 kW and 15 kW photovoltaic and wind power.
