Preparing now for the electricity systems of tomorrow

Concept Grid is a full-scale smart grid test facility designed to anticipate and facilitate the transition from electricity distribution systems to smart grids.
Built as a closed circuit, but representing real power transmission grids, Concept Grid makes it possible to conduct a range of grid optimisation scenarios in complete safety (with automatic reconfiguration response to faults, incorporation of renewables, optimisation at peak demand, etc.). The many benefits offered by this test facility include the ability to conduct complex stress tests under challenging conditions, which would be impossible on a live network serving real-life customers.
