Smart Grid
Adapting networks to the energy transition by strengthening grid interconnection, introducing advanced control and asset management functions, and enabling greater usage flexibility.
Offer Summary
Key Challenges
The energy transition is leading to the rapid development of renewable energy (RE) production, which is more variable and highly decentralized. New uses (e.g., electric mobility) are also emerging, disrupting consumption patterns and making system balancing more complex. This is pushing grid operators to evolve their operational doctrines and tools (SCADA, DERMS, BEMS, IoT).
Faced with significant investment needs, operators must also optimize CAPEX allocation and OPEX usage by renewing their approach to grid development (capacity optimization, deployment of digital twins, simulation), engineering, maintenance (CMMS), and field operations (WMS).
The integration of energy markets at the European level and the emergence of new technologies require the development of new business models (flexibility services, aggregation, storage, microgrids…) through experimentation and upscaling.
Similar transformations are occurring across gas networks (biomethane injection, reverse flow stations, development of hydrogen and CO₂ networks), as well as in water, heating, and cooling networks.
Scope of Intervention
Evolving Asset Management
