Towards smarter electricity networks
ELECTRICITY NETWORKS
In order to integrate renewable energies into the electricity network, the networks must be adapted. This requires the introduction of intelligent monitoring and control systems, known as smart grids. These are networks capable of integrating the actions of all players, whether producers or consumers. R&D is working on the development of these smart grids.

R&D and Smart Grids
Smartgrids facilitate the integration of renewable energies, manage new uses of electricity, such as electric vehicles, and optimise network service quality at a lower cost to the end customer.

A climate chamber is used to simulate extreme weather conditions. With temperatures ranging from -40°C to +60°C, humidity levels of up to 95%, solar radiation and ice, it can even reproduce conditions that humans might not survive! Its purpose is to test the durability of equipment, materials and components, ensuring they remain in the best possible condition for as long as possible once in service. Mayeul de Magnitot, Test Laboratory Manager, takes you on a tour!
