ERDF is testing out a ground-breaking solution in Brittany to increasethe security of the power supply on the islands of Houat and Hoëdic, off the coast ofMorbihan. These two islands are connected to the continent by an underwater powercable.

The major utilities will closely monitor the program EcoLink S2E2 pole (Science and systems of electric power). Pinned in 2008 for its strategic mistakes, the cluster-based regional Centre plays big in this case. EcoLink aims to promote smart grid (Smart Grid) to better control the production of electricity, especially during peak hours, optimizing the energy consumption in the residential and tertiary sectors.

The idea behind Optimod'Lyon is to experiment with and validate new services to improve the mobility of residents, travellers and freight in the urban environment by optimizing the use of transport infrastructures.

The Smart Immo Project issue is a Smart box for data collection and analysis coming from different tools and for a better building management monitoring

The aim of the EnergeTIC project is anticipative and continuous optimization of resources use and Data center management operations. It defines groups of energy efficiency scenarios based on Data Center modeling: with the key innovation being its ability to approach the Data Center as a holistic system and control the function of all its heterogeneous components. It thus helped develop an experimental control system that dynamically adjusts resources to needs.

The ELECTRA Integrated Research Programme on Smart Grids (ELECTRA) brings together the partners of the EERA Joint Programme on Smart Grids (JP SG) to reinforce and accelerate Europe’s medium to long term research cooperation in this area and to drive a closer integration of the research programmes of the participating organisations and of the related national programmes. ELECTRA’s joint research activity and collaborative support actions build on an established track record of collaboration and engagement.

The objective of the project is therefore Optimal design of robust, secure, interoperable and scalable ICT solutions that enable active distribution networks and facilitate new models for customer involvement. Development of the program has the following objectives: Efficient methods for design of robust and interoperable ICT systems Development of new business models involving partners from several industries.

The route towards a more energy sustainable world goes through an improved energy system on all levels from the producers to the consumers. The technological challenges that need to be addressed to realize the strategic energy objectives are faced in the program Çcontrollable and intelligent power componentsÉ. The objective is to develop innovative power components with advanced control and monitoring that pave the path towards an optimum power transmission and distribution system.

The Nice Grid project, located in Carros on the Var plain in the urban community of Nice-Côte d’Azur, aims to set up a “smart” solar district demonstrator. Funded both by the GrandEmprunt (national loan scheme) and European Grid4EU project funds, Nice Grid will takeplace in several zones: residential, industrial and social housing.

GRASP is a Med Programme Poject’s and its aim is to increase the potential of MED Smart cities in organizing and developing Smart and Green e-Procurement processes with a focus on renewable energy sources and energy efficient solutions.
