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.
The microgrid demonstrator project in Singapore
EDF, leading a consortium of French smart grid/smart city companies, set up the MASERA demonstrator in Singapore. Its goal? To allow isolated territories in South-East Asia to benefit from affordable, green energy via a reliable, robust microgrid.
