Towards smarter 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
Discover what’s at stake for the EDF R&D Networks Programme in responding to the EDF Group ambitions. Making electricity systems of different scales work or supporting electrification and integrating new energy uses to electricity networks, just some of the challenges that EDF R&D are taking on.
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.
GENESYS
Discover the GeneSys embedded software, developed by EDF R&D researchers to meet the needs and challenges of industrial and energy assets to manage digital control systems.
Smart charging
With the massive arrival of electric vehicles, discover the smart charging solutions developed by EDF's R&D researchers to optimise vehicle charging while minimising constraints on the electricity network.
A monitored electricity network
To detect and locate faults in the electricity network, EDF R&D has developed several cutting-edge tools. From the fault-finding truck to the Estim’R system or to the online monitoring system, discover how EDF R&D is contributing to ensuring a reliable, high-quality service every day.
