The Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique, the CESI higher education and research group and five start-ups - Evolution Energie, DotVision, Clem', Lucéor and Elum Energy - have joined forces to test a unique energy management system on three electrical microgrids. The objective is to ensure real-time optimization of multiple equipments: photovoltaic panels, batteries, electric vehicles, meters, telecom flows, etc... under different uses.
Microgrids are local electrical networks, as opposed to conventional networks. They ensure the distribution of local energy resources as close as possible to the needs of the population, thus favouring short circuits and low-carbon energy.
These networks will be installed on three smart campuses: the Sénart eco-premises, the CESI Smart Building in Nanterre and the Drahi X-Novation Center at the Polytechnique School.
