SMART GRIDS CHALLENGES: THE VISION OF TECHNOLOGICAL CENTRES

WORKSHOP

“DEFINING SMART GRIDS: CONDITIONS FOR SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION”

Barcelona, 9th February 2017

● La Compagnie du vent, ENGIE group– Founded in 1989

– 2007 LCV join ENGIE

– 150 people

– Annual revenue 60M€

– 29 wind farm, 423 MW

– 10 PV installations, 88 MW

Preamble [1/2]

● Promes CNRS– 150 people

– 3 sites : Odeillo (1MW solar furnace), Perpignan, Targasonne (5MW solar furnace)

– 2 departements● Materials and extreme conditions

● Conversion, storage and transport of energy

– 9 research teams

– Key-words : thermal, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials, supervision, power electronics, smart-grid

Preamble [2/2]

Main problem [1/3]

● How a company can optimally manage PV production for the next 10 years ?

● Liberalization of the electricity market

● Should it remain a big energy producer ?

● Should it become a producer in direct connection with users (cities) ?

Main problem [2/3]

● Should it remain a big energy producer ?● Main goal is to increase efficiency of PV

installations– Fault detection of PV panels

– Localization of the PV default

– Prediction of the PV fault

– Synchronization with repair team

– Integration of the MW price variability

– Next day forcasting prediction

Main problem [3/3]

● Should it become a producer in direct connection with users (cities) ?– Size of the microgrid

– Self-consumption

– Economic solution for a district

– Short term forecasting prediction (1-6 hours)

– Impact of consumption

– Distributed storage

– Connection Vehicle to Grid (V2G)

– Control rules for managing energy
