RennesGrid Project

The decrease of fossil energy resources, the increase in energy needs, the difficulties of supply, the fight against climate change and CO2 emissions, make it necessary to adapt the production and energy consumption modes. The proliferation of renewable energy installations, whose production is intermittent and hardly controllable, has impacts on electricity grids, designed to convey centrally generated electricity in one direction, from generation to consumption.

To adapt to these changes, power grids must innovate by integrating new technologies to promote the flow of two-way information in real time and to allow more efficient management of the network. In this context, smart grids appear as one of the solutions for integrating renewable energies while meeting the fundamental objectives assigned to electricity networks: reliability, safety and quality of the power supply.
